Grantmaking
We give grants to storytellers and arts, culture and media organizations that tell better stories and tell stories better about Africa. Better stories are the ones that show Africa’s exceptionalism and highlight our creativity and innovation. They are stories that entertain and inspire. They show the unexpected and promote the positive. These are stories that centre new voices, new heroes and new stories with characters who have agency in contemporary settings that reflect the Africa we want.
Reflecting on the first year of Africa No Filter: What we learned and Why We Invested
We are privileged to be given the mandate to shift harmful, stereotypical narratives about and within the African continent through grant-making, research, disruption projects and community building. ‘Why We Invested’ is a testament to what happens when you are given the trust, the funds and a powerful mission.
