| Organization Name: | Trust Africa |
| Organization Website: | http://www.trustafrica.org/ |
| Region: | Africa |
| Type(s) of Grants: | Capacity Building |
| Grant Size: | US$5,000 - US$10,000 |
| Grant Description: | TrustAfrica also provides small grants for capacity building to help African organizations develop the institutional skills necessary to do their work effectively. Usually in the range of US$5,000 to US$10,000, this support is aimed at fostering sound management, transparent governance, fruitful collaboration, effective communication, and sustainable results. It may be used, for example, to pay for staff exchanges, consultant's fees, study tours, board training, the preparation of videos and other communications tools, and the establishment of specific management systems. This policy reflects not only our focused mandate and limited resources, but also our fundamental approach to philanthropy and development. Our aim is to break out of the donor-driven mold. To that end, we convene workshops where thoughtful figures from across the continent can outline priorities and set strategies for development. We invite proposals for projects to advance these goals and then make grants to support the most promising ones. Our next round of funding will follow a series of workshops planned for late 2006 and early 2007. Note: Please do not send a request for funding. TrustAfrica does not accept unsolicited proposals. |
