Gigs for good
Gigs for Good is a powerful national initiative driven by the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD), bringing together artists, performers, and communities to make a meaningful difference through the arts.
At its heart, Gigs for Good is an umbrella platform for fundraising events, from music concerts and poetry evenings to live performances, all in support of persons with disabilities across South Africa.
What makes this initiative unique is its collaborative spirit. Artists, event organisers, and organisations are invited to host or participate in events under one unified and recognisable brand, ensuring that every performance contributes to a greater purpose.
Beyond fundraising, the initiative also aims to raise awareness and foster a culture of giving within the performing arts community. It provides a structured, transparent framework that ensures accountability, while making it easy for events to be replicated and scaled across the country.
Whether it’s a local gig or a large-scale production, every Gigs for Good event helps amplify the message of inclusion and support for persons with disabilities, turning creativity into real-world impact.
Gigs for Good is where performance meets purpose.
