About The Funding
The power to do good
The National Lotteries Commission (NLC) is tasked by the Minister and Industry to, amongst others:
- Ensure that society benefits from the National Lottery by distributing a share of the takings to non-profit organisations that serve communities.
A small amount from every Lottery ticket sold goes into the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF). Over the course of a year, this grows to a substantial amount. In 2010 for example, the fund received R1,5 billion from the Lottery.
Each year the NLC then issues a call for applications to organisations to submit proposals for the funds.
