About Us

Aid for Africa is a unique partnership of some 80 select charities, all dedicated to solving the complex, inter-related challenges facing Africa. Our members realize that, as effective as they each are on their own, they can be even more powerful when they approach Africa’s issues as a group.

Aid for Africa supports its member organizations in a number of ways. We:

• Facilitate collaboration among our members by serving as a forum for discussion, a clearinghouse for shared results, and a greenhouse for nurturing and planning future projects,
• Create public awareness and educational campaigns to focus attention on their work,
• Develop partnerships to pursue federal, private, and other funding,
• Streamline participation in workplace, online, and other public funding programs.

Together our members, with their partners on the ground in Africa, touch almost every aspect of the African community. Whether they are collecting and distributing books to school children, introducing medical strategies to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS, or identifying and supporting women’s micro-enterprise projects, Aid for Africa’s members have one thing in common—a passionate desire to help the people of Africa solve critical problems and build a better future for their children and communities.

Organizations wishing to become part of the Aid for Africa partnership must meet stringent tests of fiscal accountability, governance and programmatic impact. For more information on our eligibility requirements, please visit our Member Services/Eligibility page.
