Petition is addressed to: Parliament of South Africa

The Department of Sports, Arts and culture recently released outcomes that showed only 23 NPOs funded out of the 152 funded Projects, the rest being PTY LTDs. "Impact Over Profit": Emphasizes the public benefit focus of NPOs versus the profit-driven nature of PTY LTDs.
- *"Value Beyond Profit"*: Highlights the unique value NPOs bring to communities and society.
- *"NPOs: Driving Social Change"*: Focuses on the role of NPOs in addressing social issues and promoting community development.
- *"Comparing Paths to Impact: NPOs vs. PTY LTDs"*: Encourages comparison and understanding of the different goals and outcomes of NPOs and PTY LTDs.

Reason

We would like to plead that the funding model be re-designed and reconsiderations be done to consider funding more NPOs that PTY LTDs because NPOs are public benefit organisations and most of them are situated in communities where the poorest of the poor reside. We are also advocating for more rural projects funding.

Thank you for your support, Artists for Change SA, Johannesburb
