The Africa Impact Fundraising (AIF) Grant Program is an new initiative by the New Africa Fund, aimed at empowering African NGOs, community-based organizations, and social enterprises to address the pressing need for funding and fundraising expertise.
Selected organizations will begin with an online training program focused on small donor campaigns. Participants will then apply their skills during a 30-day fundraising challenge, with the chance to secure up to $5,000 USD in matching funds. Top performers will be invited to a week-long intensive workshop in Kigali, Rwanda, covering critical aspects of fundraising, including financial management, marketing, communications, grant writing, donor research, and local fundraising strategies.
Eligibility: Only organizations registered in one of the 55 African Union member states can apply.
