Invest for Impact: Unlocking Access to Education with EasyEquities and Feenix

What if every investment you made could also help change someone’s life?

This April, EasyEquities is adding Feenix as the latest Donate for Good beneficiary, giving investors the opportunity to invest in their own future while supporting the future of a student. At the heart of both organisations is a shared belief: access matters. Feenix exists to ensure that access to education is not limited by financial means, while EasyEquities has removed traditional barriers to investing, making it simple, affordable, and open to everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned investor, a first-time earner, or a student just starting out, there’s a place for you.

To date, Feenix has raised over R341.05 million and supported more than 5,600 students, many of whom come from households earning below R350,000 annually and often lack access to traditional funding such as bursaries or scholarships.

Beyond funding, Feenix provides access to tools, guidance, and wraparound support that help students navigate financial pressure, stay on track academically, and ultimately complete their studies. This holistic approach not only improves graduation outcomes, but also enhances employability and long-term economic inclusion, reinforcing the organisation’s role in driving meaningful student success.

“Access should never be the barrier to ambition. By supporting platforms like Feenix, we’re helping bridge the gap between potential and opportunity, ensuring more young people have the resources they need to succeed,” says Dimakatso Makhafola, Head of Learning at Purple Group.

EasyEquities has reimagined investing in South Africa and beyond with innovations like fractional shares, making it possible to start with any amount, regardless of experience. Through Donate for Good, investors can contribute R5  and more at the final step of an investment, seamlessly combining wealth-building with meaningful impact.

This initiative gives both new and seasoned investors the chance to grow their wealth while supporting access to education for others, extending the impact of every investment beyond personal gain.

For those just starting their investing journey, this is the perfect moment to begin. And for current EasyEquities investors, it’s an opportunity to amplify your impact, growing your wealth while helping unlock education for someone else.
