Helping those around us

About us

Since inception of Gray Swan Financial Services (Pty) Ltd, the company allocated 10% of their post-tax profits to the Gray Swan Charitable Trust (GSCT). The GSCT aspires to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the less privileged. The sole purpose of the GSCT is to be a channel through which GraySwan and other companies or individuals can give generously. The GSCT discovered that the finest way to ensure sustainable giving is to not only give funds, but to personally be involved; whether to a greater or lesser extent. The employees and the Trustees get to know those who benefit from the GSCT’s funding; those who steward their money, those who daily are committed to go into the dark, broken places of communities to restore hope and life. When the less privileged has a name, a face, a dream, one realises that when you have more than you need, it is remarkably more joyous to build a longer table, instead of a higher fence.
