Reach us on

Applications are open for Africa Impact Fundraising Grant (AIFG) Program 2025. 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.

Selected organizations will start with an online training program focused on small donor campaigns. They will then put their skills into action during a 30-day fundraising challenge, with the opportunity to secure up to $5,000 USD in matching funds.

Top-performing organizations will be invited to our training center in Kigali, Rwanda, for a week-long intensive workshop covering critical aspects of fundraising – including financial management, marketing, communications, grant writing, donor research, cultivation and retention, individual donor campaigns, and local fundraising strategies.

Only organizations registered in one of the 55 African Union member states are eligible to apply.
