Grantmaking
Our grants support storytellers and organizations who are already telling African stories beyond stereotypes. While the work we support is as diverse as Africa itself, the common thread that connects all our grantees is that they tell better stories of Africa and tell stories of Africa better through content creation, advocacy, research, and capacity building. We do not fund stories and projects that reinforce poverty, corruption, conflict, disease and poor leadership, or show the continent as broken, dependent and lacking agency will not be considered.
Reflecting on the first year of Africa No Filter: What we learned and Why We Invested
We are privileged to be given the mandate to shift harmful, stereotypical narratives about and within the African continent through grant-making, research, disruption projects and community building. ‘Why We Invested’ is a testament to what happens when you are given the trust, the funds and a powerful mission.
