For South African NPOs, managing S18A receipts and IT3(d) submissions is a major ongoing admin challenge in part because:

• S18A receipts must be correctly issued, stored and easily retrievable for donors, auditors and SARS.
• IT3(d) submissions require precise donor and transaction data, correctly formatted and filed bi-annually.

This means scattered spreadsheets, manual receipting, complex SARS formatting, and constant donor requests at tax time. It’s compliance work that steals energy from programme work.

The aim of 10BucksOnly is simple:

To provide South African NPOs with one place where fundraising, donor management, S18A receipts and IT3(d) reporting can live together, so that staff spend less of their day on admin and more of it on programmes, relationships and planning.

Don’t let admin get in the way of project fundraising

Most NPOs know what it feels like to have a good idea for a fundraiser, but no clear way to execute it quickly: by the time everything is ready, the urgency has often passed. With 10BucksOnly, launching a fundraising project becomes an instantaneous process instead of a mini project on its own. You set up the project, generate a link, and share it with your potential donors - in an email, on social media, or via WhatsApp.

The platform handles the rest: tracking progress, keeping records, and making sure every donation is attached to the right project without extra spreadsheets. For teams that want to test this in a low-risk way, starting with a single project on 10BucksOnly is often enough to feel the difference in setup time and follow-up admin.

Making EFT donations easy

Then there’s the simple question of how people prefer to donate. In South Africa, many donors are far more comfortable with EFT than with entering card details into yet another online form. But EFT usually means manual references, delayed confirmations and extra reconciliation work for your team. 10BucksOnly uses secure instant EFT (powered by Ozow) to keep donors inside a familiar flow while removing friction for your staff. Payments clear quickly, every rand goes straight to your NPO (as we have a zero-commission policy), and each transaction arrives already linked to a donor and a project. If your organisation is currently managing EFT donations manually, moving those donations onto a secure cloud platform like this can free up a surprising amount of team capacity.

Managing receipts & compliance doesn’t have to be a nightmare

Receipting is another area where “just a quick template” has quietly become a major time sink. Editing details, attaching PDFs, resending lost copies and checking whether this meets SARS compliance requirements all add up. Because the 10BucksOnly platform was built with S18A in mind, online donations can trigger compliant receipts automatically for qualifying donations.

Donors receive what they need at the right time, without someone in your office having to create each document by hand. Those receipts are stored securely in the cloud and remain searchable, so when questions come later, from donors, auditors or SARS - you are not digging through old inboxes or filing cabinets. For teams feeling overwhelmed by inbox requests when tax season approaches, piloting donor self-service through 10BucksOnly can quickly show how this approach eases the pressure.

Beyond receipts, IT3(d) reporting is built into the platform. Instead of spending hours formatting files and navigating SARS processes, 10BucksOnly automates it. Whether you need a simple downloadable file or full bi-annual submissions, the platform ensures accurate, hassle-free compliance.

Many systems charge per user, making them very expensive for financially strapped nonprofits. 10BucksOnly is designed with teams in mind (fundraisers, finance staff, managers and external accountants) - you can add colleagues or your accountants without worrying about extra seat fees, and everyone works from the same up-to-date information. The platform becomes a shared hub rather than one more tool locked to a single person’s laptop.

Just try it

If this picture feels familiar and you are looking for a platform to fundraise, automate S18A receipts, manage donors and IT3(d), 10BucksOnly is designed to lighten the load for your organisation – start with a single project, see how the flow fits your team, and then decide whether to expand from there.
