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.
