Grant Seekers
The foundation awards the majority of its grants to U.S. 501 (c)(3) organizations
and other tax-exempt organizations in Africa identified by our staff. We do not award grants to individuals. In deciding how to invest our resources most responsibly, we look for projects that: Help reduce
inequities in neglected areas; produce measurable results, catalyze increased momentum,
scale, and sustainability of change; collaborate with government, philanthropic, private-sector, and not-for-profit
partners; favor preventative approaches; leverage support from other sources; advance our current strategies, accelerating the work we are already supporting.
