If you are looking for funders who support activities targeted to Africa, select "Africa." If you want to see all the funders for the entire continent, select  "ALL." 

Search by CATEGORY

SEARCH FOR FUNDING - AGAG MEMBERS

Foundations support activities in a range of African countries and in a variety of thematic areas, some of which are cross-cutting and do not fit within any one specific program area. The search feature below provides BASIC information on the geographic and thematic areas in Africa where AGAG members have programs.

Please note that some foundations may not have a geographic focus or may fund in broad thematic areas. All foundations operate differently and their funding priorities change, so this information is presented to be used as a starting point. To find more detailed information on a foundation's funding priorities and how to apply, please visit their website. We welcome your feedback, suggestions and corrections, and ask that you send it to info[at]africagrantmakers.org.
