Giving Tuesday #YouthGive Africa Contest 2024 (up to $1,500)

Reach us on

Applications are open for Giving Tuesday #YouthGive Africa Contest 2024. The #YouthGive Africa Contest is an exciting opportunity for young Africans (ages 14-29) to share their personal stories of generosity and community impact on a global platform.

Hosted by Giving Tuesday Africa, this contest celebrates African giving traditions and the spirit of youth-led change, offering cash prizes up to $1,500 for the most inspiring stories. Selected stories will be featured across #GivingTuesdayAfrica’s platforms, amplifying the voices of young changemakers across the continent and fostering a movement of generosity.

Why This Matters

Africa has a deep history of generosity, but too often, these stories go untold. The YouthGive Africa Challenge aims to change that by collecting, documenting, and sharing these stories. They want to celebrate the old and new ways of giving, showing the world that generosity is as much a part of the future as it is the past.

Your story can help educate others about the rich traditions of African philanthropy, inspire more people to give, and create a more inclusive approach to generosity that blends tradition with modern life. By participating, you’re not just entering a contest – you’re helping to build a movement.
