If your organization is working to make a real difference in communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, now is the perfect time to explore new funding opportunities.
The fund supports a wide range of sectors—education, health, livelihoods, technology and digital futures, climate and environment, human rights, and gender equity—while maintaining a balanced portfolio that reflects the diversity of social impact initiatives on the continent.
A Transparent and Accessible Application Platform
The fund’s Open Application System is designed to break down traditional barriers to funding.
Instead of relying solely on referrals, this platform allows organizations to showcase their work and impact right from the start.
Using technology to increase transparency, the system also acts as a pipeline database for other funders, connecting them with organizations that have a proven track record of driving meaningful, community-rooted change.
How to Apply
The open application is now live! This is your chance to join a network of change-makers and apply for funding.
Chamrid Kpadonou, our Grantmaking Systems Manager, explains that the new system simplifies the process and offers features to guide applicants every step of the way.
We’ve made sure the application process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
You don’t need to create completely new materials—just bring together information your organization already has.
Our goal is to help you share your work clearly and without extra hurdles.
Amplify Your Work Beyond Our Funding
