IN-KIND & SERVICE CONTRIBUTION PHILANTHROPY

This model includes the provision of specific proprietary services or the application of non-financial personal resources towards philanthropic purposes.

MOBILIZED PHILANTHROPY

This model brings together a number of individual donors for support of general groups of beneficiaries not directly linked to the donors (‘Many to Many’).

COMMUNITY-BASED PHILANTHROPY

This model maps to the ‘Many to One’ segment of our initial framework and is likely the most predominant form of philanthropy across Africa today.

HIGH NET WORTH AND INSTITUTIONAL PHILANTHROPY

Traditionally the most visible and recognized form of philanthropy. This type of giving is characterized by a large amount of privately owned and controlled resources.

About Africa Philanthropy

What Makes Us Unique

Our approach towards promoting African philanthropy is built upon a strong foundation of research. In April 2013, we produced a report titled “Sizing the field: frameworks for a new narrative of African philanthropy.”

The report presents an analytical framework for documenting and highlighting the different types of philanthropic activity being pursued in Africa by individuals, communities, and organisations.

In this research, we identified four models of African philanthropy listed below. Our work in the current strategic period will seek to promote and advance these and other models which will emerge.
