At CivSource Africa, our work is to document, honour, and amplify African giving, the everyday generosity that is active, organised, and rooted in community. Moments like the Butabika Cookout strengthen our resolve to keep lifting these stories up, ensuring they are not overlooked, but celebrated and used to reshape how philanthropy on our continent is understood.

Penned by our CEO Jacqueline Asiimwe Mwesige, it reminds us: our stories are our roots, our voices our wings.

The New Africa Fund has launched the Africa Impact Fundraising Grant (AIFG) to help African NGOs, CBOs, and social enterprises strengthen their fundraising muscles. Through online training, a 30-day small-donor fundraising challenge with up to $5,000 in matching funds, and an advanced in-person workshop in Kigali for top performers, the program blends skills-building with real-time practice and catalytic support. With up to 70 organizations set to benefit and applications open until 16 December 2025, the AIFG is designed to grow locally rooted, sustainable fundraising across the continent.
A rare UAE–Africa Business Leaders meeting in Dubai brought together eight of Africa’s richest investors not just as business giants, but as major philanthropists shaping the continent’s future. With a combined net worth of over $61 billion, leaders like Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Strive Masiyiwa, Patrice Motsepe, and others discussed how their capital and philanthropy can drive long-term impact in health, education, infrastructure, agriculture, and tech, especially through bold initiatives like AI for development and youth-focused opportunities.
Africa showed up boldly for GivingTuesday 2025, turning a global day of generosity into a distinctly African celebration of care and community. From the Giving Festival in Nigeria and the Mozambique Generosity Forum to Ghana Philanthropy Week and the Periods Are Power exhibition in Uganda, country leaders, creatives, youth, and grassroots groups led campaigns that honoured long-standing traditions of giving. Through the GivingTuesday Africa Hub and its Sankofa conversations, the movement is elevating indigenous systems like Ubuntu and Harambee, proving that Africa’s own models of solidarity can inspire community-driven change across the world.
