Bridge the Divide; Reimagine the Future
African countries are navigating conflict, democratic fragility, and widening inequities at a time when development aid and philanthropic giving from the Global North have thinned. The pressures of addressing these challenges have deepened divides across the development ecosystem—between capital sources; across regions and language blocs; and even between generations of givers.
The 2026 African Philanthropy Forum Conference will bring together philanthropists, funders, and changemakers from Africa and the Global South to rethink our ways of being, doing, and collaborating—and how we organize and deploy capital for the future.
