The Africa Impact Fundraising Grant (AIFG) 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.
.
Nonprofits, community-based organisations (CBOs), and social enterprises across Africa can now apply for the Africa Impact Fundraising (AIF) Grant Program by the New Africa Fund. This grant isn’t just cash — it offers fundraising training, a challenge to test your skills, and up to US$ 5,000 in matching funds to boost your organization’s sustainability.
.
Many African civil society organisations struggle to diversify their funding sources and run effective donor campaigns. The AIF Grant Program is designed to change that by:
- Building fundraising capacity through structured training,
- Offering a real-world 30-day fundraising challenge to practice what you learn,
- Providing financial backing via a matching fund that rewards performance.
Plus, participating organisations get 12 months of free fiscal sponsorship from the New Africa Fund, helping them manage funds professionally.
.
Top performers are also flown to Kigali, Rwanda, for a week-long intensive workshop on advanced fundraising techniques.
