Different by Design | Annual Report 2024
Different by Design, the CivFund 2024 Annual Report, reflects a year of bold growth, learning, and intentional resourcing for civil society in Africa. As a giving and grantmaking mechanism within the CivSource Africa Galaxy, CivFund continued to move resources closer to communities, strengthen grassroots action, and support organisations navigating complex civic, social, and economic realities. In 2024, CivFund expanded its reach across ten African countries, awarded 158 grants, supported more female-led and underrepresented initiatives, deepened its fiscal hosting work, and strengthened learning spaces for partners. The report captures a Fund that is truly different by design: flexible, responsive, African-rooted, and committed to building the infrastructure that allows philanthropy to work and civil society to thrive.
