The Challenge
Why This Program Matters
Africa’s development has always been shaped by philanthropy — from community giving traditions to modern foundations. But many communities, local institutions, and rural governments still do not have access to:
Knowledge about how philanthropy works in Africa
Training on how to mobilize resources beyond traditional aid
Sector research that can guide local decision‑making
Tools to design effective community programs
Support for workforce development in the philanthropy and nonprofit space
Give to Africa fills this gap by making philanthropy education, resource mobilization, and workforce development accessible to the people building Africa’s future.
What We Do
Our Approach
Philanthropy Education & Sector Learning
We help communities, students, and practitioners understand Africa’s evolving philanthropy ecosystem — including how funding flows, how foundations operate, and how local giving strengthens development.
Resource Mobilization Training
We train NGOs, community groups, and local agencies to mobilize resources within Africa and beyond. Our training goes beyond traditional aid and helps leaders understand modern philanthropy, community fundraising, institutional partnerships, and long‑term sustainability.
Technical Expertise for Local & Rural Governments
We support local government agencies with evidence‑based research, planning support, and technical guidance on how to design community programs, coordinate development efforts, and strengthen workforce planning.
Workforce Development for the Philanthropy & Development Sector
We help prepare leaders, students, practitioners, and community organizations to work in Africa’s growing philanthropy sector — building strong, skilled talent that can support community‑driven development.

Our Vision
We believe education and philanthropy studies give communities the power to understand the funding ecosystem, build stronger organizations, and participate confidently in Africa‑led development. By strengthening workforce skills and sector knowledge, we help create a future where African communities lead their own development with clarity, capacity, and confidence.
