Introducing African Collaborative

A women’s savings group meeting at Foi en Action

Formerly known as African Visionary Fund, the newly rebranded African Collaborative remains committed to the same mission: to shift capital and decision-making power to African-led organizations that are deeply rooted in their communities.

Our model is yielding tangible results and is showing us what’s possible when African-led organizations are given flexible resources. However, the work is far from over. The funding gap remains significant, and more must be done to invest in a future of social change for Africans, led by Africans.

Anchored by our multisector fund, we have launched seven sector-specific portfolios, which will give funders an opportunity to directly support, learn from, and engage with partners aligned with their sector interests. We believe these sector portfolios will spotlight the expertise of African-led organizations driving impact in their communities.

With this new direction, we’re not just funding change. We’re transforming systems, centering African leadership, and building a future where sustainable development is truly locally led.

Watch the below video to hear from us and our partners about why most effective solutions to Africa’s challenges don’t need to be imported—they just need to be invested in.
