New Africa Fund Venture Philanthropy Grants

Location:
Africa
Grant Size:
Up to USD $50,000.
Eligibility:
The NAF funds non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations, and social enterprises. We fund organisations from nearly every field, but they must be legally registered in their home country. We fund organisations working in education, poverty reduction, health, and human rights, particularly for marginalised communities. Organisations led by women are especially encouraged to apply. We cannot fund individuals or organisations that are registered outside of the African continent.
Status:
Ongoing

Through the VP grants, instead of funding specific projects, the NAF prioritizes organisations with a clear vision and mission and a track record of results. This granting programme does not prioritize one area of intervention over another, nor does it favour large organisations over smaller ones. It simply is looking for organisations with creative solutions to local problems. The Fund supports organisations with a clear mission and gives them the tools to grow and develop exponentially through the Venture Philanthropy (VP) grants. The VP grants provide stable funding with the idea that these organisations will be able to use that time to grow and become sustainable.
