African Visionary Fund
Invest in African changemakers. Transform millions of lives.
Did you know that only 5% of philanthropic giving goes to locally-led organizations?
The African Visionary Fund exists to change that.
We drive flexible and unburdensome funding to African social changemakers to increase their impact & transform development across the continent. Since 2020, we have committed $8.4 million to 35 African-led organizations across 13 countries working in education, health, gender equity, human rights, livelihoods, climate justice, and other emerging sectors.
Our 'why' is straightforward: we believe that when it comes to improving lives proximity matters. Proximate leaders have a deep understanding of and connection to their communities that enables them to develop relevant, effective, and cost-effective solutions.
