Online Fundraising (Crowdfunding) for Tertiary Education
About us
The Feenix Trust is a public benefit organisation that connects indebted university students with funding communities using technology. We connect students with communities that can provide the support they need to succeed in university and life after. This includes crowdfunding, bursary programmes, and wrap around student support. Individuals and businesses who have an interest in supporting youth education are able to find a student they connect with and contribute either a portion of or the entire outstanding fees amount. Individuals and businesses can also donate directly to the Feenix Pool Fund which is allocated in accordance with the B-BBEE criteria. Organisations can receive recognition in both Skills Development (SD) and Socio- economic Development (SED) categories when supporting Feenix students. This is dependent on the organisation’s workplace skills plan.

As South Africa reflects on the meaning of reconciliation today, we’re reminded that true unity is built on opportunities and shared progress. Education lies at the heart of this vision, it’s a powerful tool to bridge divides, uplift communities, and create a future where everyone has a chance to thrive. Your support as a funder does more than alleviate financial burdens; it creates the foundation for lasting change. By empowering students, you’re fostering a generation equipped to lead, innovate, and contribute to a more united South Africa. This Reconciliation Day, we invite you to make a contribution that builds a future where access to education isn’t a privilege but a shared right.

When you support a student’s education, you’re doing something remarkable. You’re turning ambition into action and opening doors that once seemed locked. You’re helping to create futures that benefit not only the students themselves but their families and communities. Never underestimate the power of one! Your decision to give can change a life, and when we multiply that impact, we shape a nation.

Did you know that 70% of South African university students face financial insecurity? This means many don’t finish their studies, not because they lack ability, but because they lack resources. Supporting student fees is an investment in the workforce of tomorrow. Every student we help cross the finish line becomes part of a ripple effect that drives economic growth, innovation, and social upliftment. You can be a part of rewriting the narrative for thousands of aspiring graduates. Their success stories start with your support to help #GetOurStudentsOverTheLine. Your action today builds tomorrow’s South Africa, Head to https://donate.feenix.org/

This International Human Rights Day, we honour the universal right to education. A cornerstone for equality, opportunity, and progress, that is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Education is a powerful equalizer, a gateway to opportunity, and a cornerstone of dignity. Yet, for too many South African students, this right feels like a distant dream due to the financial barriers they face. At Feenix, we believe that empowering a student with access to education is one of the most profound ways to honour the spirit of this day. It’s a step toward breaking cycles of poverty, and building a society where every individual has the chance to contribute meaningfully to our shared future. As we commemorate International Human Rights Day let’s commit to action, by addressing the challenges that prevent access to education, we uphold the rights and dignity of those who need it most. Head to https://donate.feenix.org/ to support the rights of South Africa’s students! #Feenix #RightToEducation #InternationalHumanRightsDay #HumanRightsDay #UniversalRightToEducation #AccessForAllWithFeenix #FeenixFunders

We are thrilled to share the incredible news that The Feenix community has officially raised over R200 million toward student debt! Feenix CEO Cara-Jean Petersen shared some words of appreciation on this incredible milestone as the team got together to celebrate! 'We are so exceptionally grateful to our main operations sponsor Standard Bank South Africa and key internal champions- Lungisa Fuzile, Kirston Greenop, Preshanta Govender, Mpolai Liau, Michelle K. Munemo and Ben Pretorius for believing in us. Without your support, we would not have been able to focus on our core cause which is to connect students in need with donors that care. Thank you to our students for being brave enough to share their stories with the world, to our university partners without whom our work would not be possible and to our superhero donor community for investing in our country’s future. Injecting hope into what seems an impossible situation takes vision, grit and a deep understanding of purpose. And last but certainly not least- Thank you to the phenomenal Feenix.org Team, Trustees and Group CEO Leana de Beer. Over R200 million raised, over 4400 students impacted and we are just getting started." The Feenix team is certainly ending 2024 on a high note with this remarkable accomplishment, The sky is the limit for 2025! #Feenix #FeenixFunders #FeenixImpact #FundraisingSuccess #Milestones #AccessForAllWithFeenix #CelebrateTheWins
