PHASA Foundation

Did you know that donations to The PHASA Foundation are tax‑deductible for South African individuals and companies?

As a registered Non‑Profit Company and Public Benefit Organisation, the PHASA Foundation is approved to issue Section 18A certificates for bona fide donations, meaning you can claim your contribution as a deduction on your South African tax return.

Your support helps us fund critical conservation, research and community projects driven by the professional hunting and wildlife sector – while optimising your tax position at the same time.

To receive your Section 18A tax certificate, simply make your contribution and email your proof of payment and contact details to [email protected].

Today we honour the courage, voice and potential of South Africa’s youth.

The future of conservation, wildlife stewardship and responsible land care depends on the next generation. Through education, awareness and meaningful involvement, young people can become strong custodians of our natural heritage.

May we continue to invest in youth who will protect, respect and carry our wildlife legacy forward.

We are proud to share that PHASA Foundation Director, Daniel Ngwepe, recently joined Miguel Bélisle—host of Born To Hunt and President of the SCI Eastern Ontario Chapter—for an inspiring conversation on conservation, research, and community upliftment. During the interview, Daniel highlighted the PHASA Foundation’s commitment to science-based conservation, including support for wildlife research and monitoring projects, as well as initiatives that strengthen partnerships with conservation organisations and academic institutions.

ABRAHAM KRIEL CHILDRENS HOME. For more than two decades, Ria Potgieter of Motsomi Safaris has quietly stood behind the children of Abraham Kriel Children’s Home, turning her passion for hunting into lasting care. Year after year, Ria and her hunting clients have visited the home, donating venison, toys, clothing, cleaning materials and other essentials to support the children’s daily needs and create moments of joy.
These visits are a powerful reminder that hunters do more than conserve wildlife – they also uplift communities and help change young lives for the better. The PHASA Foundation and long‑time supporter Amy Bell are honoured to stand alongside Ria and Motsomi Safaris in supporting Abraham Kriel Children’s Home and the vital work they do for vulnerable children.

PHASA Foundation is excited to announce a new five‑year Memorandum of Understanding with the Cheetah Outreach Trust to strengthen science‑based conservation of free‑roaming cheetahs and other large predators in South Africa. Together, we will collaborate on field research, camera‑trap monitoring, conflict mitigation, and responsible data sharing to support coexistence between predators, people, and biodiversity
