The grants are for non-profit organisations and social enterprises in Africa.
The ACT Foundation considers grants to be an essential tool for enacting social change, and they are even more motivated by the long- and short-term collaborations they form. The foundation’s strength is in the alliances they forge and maintain through providing funds for initiatives that have a great chance of reversing the negative trend in development on the continent of Africa. As a result, the foundation constantly aspires to accomplish more. The foundation’s aim is to promote sustained influence across Africa.
