\"\"Eat Out has launched a Restaurant Relief Fund in conjunction with the Community Chest, to financially help out the restaurants that have transformed their kitchens in preparing meals for \u00a0needy members of our country\u2019s community, to cover some of their expenses. A relief package, strictly controlled in terms of Terms and Conditions, up to\u00a0a maximum of R50000 is offered per restaurant. The Eat Out Restaurant Relief Fund stands at R 767000.<\/p>\n

A number of stringent conditions for receiving the Funding follow below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On its website Eat Out writes:\u00a0Restaurants or industry individuals who meet the criteria can apply to receive funding. If successful, grants will be given in line with the number of meals they produce each day. Eat Out will receive no commercial benefit from the donations \u2013 all money will go directly to qualifying restaurants\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

Community Chest is a non-profit organisation (NPO) and public benefit organisation (PBO), which aims \u2018at improving the lives of all South Africans by mobilising the caring power of communities, business and the government to advance the common good. It\u00a0will administer and manage the fundraising bank account and assist with application vetting, all to ensure good governance of the generous donations received and paid out. We are proud to be in partnership with them. Community Chest is a registered NPO (000 \u2013 040) and PBO (130002437). As our PBO partner, they will issue the necessary Section 18a Certificates, so that all donations to the fund are tax deductible<\/i><\/p>\n

Eat Out is also linked to the Restaurant Association of South Africa (RASA), an NPO formed in 2004, \u00a0acting in the interest of South African restaurateurs, and claims to be the official voice and lobbying body of the industry.<\/p>\n
