Fiscal Sponsor Program

Empowers Africa partners with African nonprofits in order to provide cost-effective solutions to fundraising in the United States by acting as their fiscal sponsor. As an established 501(1)(c)(3), we are able to accept donations from U.S. donors and grant funds directly to our partners’ projects. We are able to efficiently collect and process donations for some of the most effective changemakers on the continent, allowing them to focus on what’s most important—the work being done on the ground.

Empowers Africa partners with African nonprofits, social enterprises, and other mission-driven organizations to provide cost-effective fundraising solutions in the United States through fiscal sponsorship. As an established 501(c)(3) public charity, we accept tax-deductible donations from U.S. donors and make grants supporting charitable projects that further our mission. This enables innovative organizations across Africa to access U.S. philanthropy while remaining focused on creating lasting impact in their communities.
