IKM operates as an altruistic and philanthropic institution, on a nonprofit basis, as a Section 21 company.

It supports deserving projects from any entity that has a similar vision or goals to those of IKM.

While some projects reach IKM through its members and respective organisations, all entities - especially those at ground level - are encouraged to approach IKM for assistance in developing projects. IKM strongly believes in networking and engaging a range of tried and tested partners in the implementation of its projects yet constantly engages in the development of new partnerships.

IKM members collectively decide on the organisation’s possible involvement in the projects proposed.
