We call our grantees our partners. It implies we are together on a quest to change the world. To be fair, it’s just one small way to chip away at the power imbalance in development, but how do you eat an elephant?

We do not have an open application and we do not accept unsolicited proposals because we have a trusted network of referrals across Africa. Also, we don’t want to waste anyone’s time. See our Grantmaking page to learn more about how we choose who to fund.

Visionary Fellows are chosen from our existing portfolio of grantee partners. 

We fund organizations, not individuals. In addition, we do not provide funding to create new organizations. 

View our Grantmaking page to learn more about who we fund. Our Program Officers in each hub are responsible for creating and executing our grantmaking strategies. To be clear, we are not limited by the number of exemplary visionaries across Africa but by our own time and resource limitations!

We offer our partners comprehensive support called Active Partnership. We know the value of an unrestricted grant so we try to be really judicious in deciding to spend money elsewhere.

We have partners all across Uganda
