B-BBEE Verification

Last updated: July 2026

Kura Digital Foundation NPC helps corporate partners give effect to their Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) commitments through verifiable, well-documented contributions to our programmes.

1. Our Registration Status

Kura Digital Foundation is registered as a Nonprofit Company (NPC) with CIPC (Reg No. 2026/486214/08), as a Nonprofit Organisation (NPO) with the Department of Social Development (Reg No. [●]), and holds Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) status with Section 18A approval under the Income Tax Act (PBO No. [●]).

2. How Contributions May Be Recognised

Depending on how a contribution is structured, it may support recognition under multiple B-BBEE scorecard pillars:

  • Socio-Economic Development (SED): contributions benefiting Black South Africans through our Academy and community programmes.
  • Enterprise Development (ED): contributions supporting the Kura Business Directory and the businesses listed on it.
  • Skills Development: contributions funding Academy workshop hours delivered to Black learners.

3. Documentation We Provide

To support your organisation's B-BBEE scorecard submission, we can provide:

  • A Section 18A tax certificate for qualifying donations;
  • A signed contribution confirmation letter, referencing the relevant scorecard pillar;
  • Impact reporting detailing beneficiary numbers and programme reach (in aggregated or anonymised form); and
  • Supporting records for your B-BBEE verification agency's due diligence process.

4. Requesting Verification Documents

Corporate partners can request supporting documentation at any time by contacting partners@kura.org.za. We aim to issue documentation within 10 working days of a request.

ImportantKura Digital Foundation is not itself a B-BBEE rating or verification agency. The documentation we provide is intended to support your organisation's own accredited B-BBEE verification agency in assessing your scorecard. Final recognition, contribution levels, and point allocations are determined by your verification agency in terms of the applicable B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, not by Kura.
