Beneficiaries
Our funders, who like us value your great work in various communities and the needs the continent has, are excited to hear from you.
Whether you are a non-profit organisation, a social enterprise or a student looking for funding, we want to receive your application for support.
Who qualifies for funding?
Each of our clients has different qualification criteria. Please make sure your work aligns with our SDGs found on who we are page.
Most of our clients that are registered as public benefit organizations (PBO) can only provide financial assistance to organizations that are themselves PBO-registered, and which are undertaking public benefit activities (as defined in Schedule 9 to the Income Tax Act of 1962). However, in some cases, our clients can fund non-PBOs.

The following activities and areas are NOT supported by any of our clients, at present:
- Political or quasi-political bodies.
- Religious organizations (except community outreach projects that are open to all).
- Trade unions.
- Overseas tours and exchanges.
- Sporting activities, sports and recreation clubs (except for specific projects that are focused on community development).
- Company promotions and membership subscriptions.
- Musical festivals/choir events and/or video and film productions.
- Fundraising gala events.
- Advertising in educational or other supplements.
- Conferences, workshops, and memorial lectures (except in special circumstances where the focus of the event is directly aligned with the Foundation’s work and there is a strong strategic case for support).
- General or generic fundraising requests (only specific requests are considered).
- Meeting costs of collecting donations from others.
