THE POWER OF DIFFERENCE
Nolands Audit has built its reputation on relationships and solutions for some five decades. Back in 2014, we decided to take this up a notch by registering the Nolands Foundation – a vehicle for Nolands and our clients to make a difference in the communities where we operate. Although we’ve been involved in several projects in the past, we’ll now focus on making a positive impact in the education space.
The Nolands Foundation collaborates with several partners throughout the country. We run programmes with young people at schools, youth clubs and tertiary institutions, with a core focus on 11 – 23-year-olds.
The programmes we run cover important topics we call ‘skills for life’ and cover principles, values, attitude, taking responsibility for your life and more. We train 23 – 30-year-olds as Youth Coaches to facilitate these dynamic sessions as they play a major role in how content is delivered. We also run workshops for teachers in need of inspiration.
What makes the Nolands Foundation unique is that we have a national footprint and can therefore add value wherever we are. Nolands employees and clients make a big difference to this programme and by harnessing this collective energy, we’re able to maximise what we do.
EQUIP! is a programme that addresses the ever-worsening education problem in South Africa, which is no longer a problem, it’s a crisis.
Passionate and driven students are identified, and taught accounting and tax skills.
These students gain valuable work experience, as well as knowledge of current software and packages.
Our goal is to roll out the EQUIP! programme nationally over the next two years, and Nolands staff will be encouraged and trained to help mentor, coach and tutor students.
Our LAUNCH programmes are designed to give young people hope in achieving their dreams. Our LAUNCH initiative is a life skills programme that teaches young people principles and values as many come from dysfunctional backgrounds.
Apart from the emotional challenges they face, they also struggle at school.
Part of what we do is to train our employees to become Youth Coaches and to facilitate programmes in schools, universities, and youth clubs.
This training ensures they’re qualified to help young people and to mentor fellow community youth members to help them bring their dreams to life.
Members of the 100 Club are welcome to get involved.
The young people we work with often don’t have much of a support structure. The schools they attend are often understaffed and teachers are stressed. This results in young people being left to their own devices.
We combine sports with life-skills development – an approach with a successful track record.
We look forward to identifying and partnering with established projects to make a difference in the communities in which they operate.
In 2021 The Nolands Foundation launched The 100 Club. Unlike most clubs, this one is made up of companies and individuals who would like to partner with us to raise the next generation of leaders. The 100 Club is not exclusive, in fact, all are welcome.
To join, you simply have to be committed to making a difference in the lives of the young people we work with. Easy!

Although thousands of people have benefitted from the work we do, we’d like to do so much more. Instead of trying to raise funds project by project, our goal is to create a sustainable income stream which will allow us to plan accordingly.
The projects we work on are life-changing, and we’d therefore like to invite you and your company to join us in our quest. Doing so will help these initiatives become scalable, effective and transformational.
It’s the only way we can reach more young people. We can’t do it alone, we need you to partner with us.

Our steps to encourage our clients to become proactive are the following:
Look at transformation strategically.
Structure a B-BBEE Strategy that fits with the company's long-term goals before the next verification falls due.
Look for ways to fulfil short-term goals. We’re able to guide clients on how to achieve short-term wins that are well within most companies’ strategies and capabilities.
Take a broader view of B-BBEE that will contribute to meaningful economic transformation and growth.
Allow the Nolands Foundation to prepare your organisation to not only meet, but to maximise its compliance goals.
The Nolands Foundation works with organisations who do amazing work. We have verified and approved these organisations, as they can provide real impact and maximum B-BBEE and SED points for clients.
Most importantly, make a difference.
