Making a Difference Every Day

It’s a well-worn phrase but, if you take a look at our impact so far in 2024, you’ll get all the reassurance you need that your support of Infinite Family makes a real and tangible difference in the lives of our Net Buddies! You’ll see the educational impact your donations have made since January, the cumulative impact our mentors make to their Net Buddies chances of future success and (best of all) how hard our teens are working every week.

For their part, it all comes down to discipline, focus and resilience – which they have in spades – but it’s your support that unlocks opportunity for them!  Infinite Family has so much to teach the wider world about innovation in education delivery and we’re grateful you’re working with us to help the next generation prepare for a brighter future.

Democracy Isn't What It Used to Be

South Africa is preparing to go to the polls next week and the mood couldn’t be more different from the excitement of its first democratic election when Nelson Mandela led the African National Congress out of apartheid and into power in 1994.  

This time around, the electorate - of what is now described as a post-Rainbow Nation – is expected to show its discontent with the rate of progress over the last thirty years and return a vote that will unseat the ANC’s absolute majority for the first time.  

It’s a watershed moment.  Read More

So Many Ways You Can Be Part of Our Infinite Family

Maybe you want to sign up as a mentor - and we’d love you to do that as the more caring adults who can spend one-on-one time on a video call every week, the more teens we can reach.

Maybe you don’t have the time for that?  Or maybe it’s not your thing but you’re excited about the work we do to help prepare teens to succeed in school, work, and life, and would like to donate?

We’ve made it as easy as we can. Through Infinite Family’s website, you can make a secure donation with your : credit card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Crypto,  Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), or stocks.  

If you’re looking for the most tax-efficient way to contribute, US donors will want to know that their donations of stock and cryptocurrency are non-taxable (as long as we have your email address to send you a tax deduction confirmation). 

And our friends in the UK will be happy to hear that their government boosts all donations via GlobalGiving by 25%.   

If you’re interested in learning more about how crypto donations can lower your taxes, you can check out  thegivingblock.com/faq, or connect with The Giving Block to get connected with a crypto-savvy tax professional.

Thank you for being our Infinite Family

My mentor, Paula, is important to me, she is like another mother to me. She said "education" is important to me, it is the key to success [and] to study at least 30 minutes a day.  ~ A Net Buddy in Alexandra
