Every match is made thoughtfully — no open directories or cold intros.
We help NPOs access real strategic support, not just well-meaning volunteers.
ServingSA honours your time and treats these matches with care and structure.
As a pilot initiative, your participation helps us prove the model and refine our matching process. Early supporters gain the satisfaction of shaping how South Africa's professionals contribute to the causes that matter most.
Great question! LinkedIn's feature is a passive signal — you set it and hope NPOs find you amongst thousands of other professionals. ServingSA actively vets both sides, makes curated introductions based on skills and values alignment, and facilitates the entire matching process. Think of it as the difference between posting your CV online versus having a dedicated recruiter who knows both you and the organisations intimately.
Yes. There's no cost — this is a pro bono initiative for both professionals and non-profits.
You can join a board, act as a strategic adviser, or serve as an executive-in-residence. All roles are pro bono and flexible.
After a quick form and vetting call, we suggest curated matches based on experience, needs and values — no directories or blind pairings.
It depends on the role — anything from 1 hour a month for a board seat, to 1–2 days/month as an executive-in-residence.
Yes. Most of our participating non-profits are based in South Africa and expect local context, even for remote engagements.
