How We Help Donors and Investors

Bridgespan Africa collaborates with foundations and trusts, individuals, impact investors, and corporations (CSR) to start, expand, or reorient their philanthropy. We support donors and investors seeking to increase the impact and scale of their giving and make their philanthropy more strategic and effective. Our team also serves philanthropic collaboratives at the conception, design, and implementation stages.

Our primary areas of focus include education, health and nutrition, livelihoods, and community engagement and empowerment. Additionally, we are experienced in women’s entrepreneurship, sanitation, and hygiene; opportunities for refugee and host communities; and resource conservation. Within each of these areas, we pursue our work with the goal of enhancing social impact and a passion to bring about equity of opportunity.
