Strengthening Legal Compliance for Community Foundations

In February 2025, CivSource Africa, in partnership with CivLegacy Foundation and Orima & Co Advocates, hosted a three-day residential masterclass focused on legal compliance, governance, and sustainability for community foundations in Uganda. With a growing movement to formally recognize community foundations in law, this training brought together sector leaders united by a vision: to build lasting institutions rooted in trust and community.
