GREATER GOOD
GREATER GOOD
Spur Foundation
As part of Spur Corporation, The Spur Foundation has rallied behind the purpose of Leading for the Greater Good through various initiatives and projects we implement.
The Spur Foundation was established on International Mandela Day, 18 July 2012, with a donation of R670 000 by the Spur Corporation, resonating with the ‘67 minutes’ theme of Mandela Day, and the founding of the Spur family in 1967.
The Spur Foundation is predominantly focussed on early childhood development and supports projects and organisations that;
- empower the women (and men) who dedicate their lives to our youngest members of society
- put the child at the centre i.e. quality school readiness programmes, ECD resources, parent education and support groups, play, maternal health etc.
Spur Corporation is a growing multi-brand franchisor and from humble beginnings 57 years ago, it is now the proud home of 10 world-class restaurant brands of which three have launched their own charitable initiative aligned to the brands’ own ethos:
Spur Full Tummy Fund
Fill a Tummy, Feed a Mind
We know you can’t teach a hungry child, and during those first, formative years, the essential building blocks for brain and body development are laid. Therefore, we have partnered with key NGOs to help deliver nutritional meals to young children at under-resourced day care centres across South Africa.

The Early Care Foundation
The Early Care Foundation (previously known as ASHA Trust) develops and facilitates early childhood development training programmes for under-skilled practitioners and owners of home-based creches.

Reach For A Dream Foundation
When a child gets diagnosed with a life-threatening illness it takes a severe toll on their life. Through fulfilling each child’s dream we are able to bring a spark of hope back into each child’s life, as we know children want nothing more than to have their dreams come true, regardless of their illness. No matter the dream, we try to fulfil it. Let’s make dreams come true.
