Aspire Coronation Trust (ACT) Foundation: An Overview

In order to help local, national, and regional non-profit and social entrepreneurial groups working to address challenges and related vulnerabilities throughout Africa, the Aspire Coronation Trust (ACT) Foundation was founded in 2016.

The ACT Foundation funds high-impact, sustainable projects that offer creative answers to Africa’s problems with the environment, economy, and society. Our goal is to use connections to develop practical social impact solutions throughout Africa. Our goal is to create sustainable communities by involving people in projects that empower and unleash potential.

At the ACT Foundation, we encourage widespread involvement and collaboration with other organizations and donors to create sustainable communities that offer creative answers to problems related to the environment, the economy, and society. The communal assistance practices that have been followed for generations throughout Africa serve as the foundation for the ACT Foundation.

Grants Given

Grants are given to organizations in order to guarantee long-term progress in areas that correspond with our primary emphasis areas. In order to prevent them from being alone, we also assist our implementing partners at every stage of the grant application procedure.

We at the ACT Foundation have made grantmaking more responsive. Through the provision of targeted interventions, we address a wide range of developmental problems grouped into our areas of concentration. Grant-making, in our opinion, is an essential instrument for creating social change. The short- and long-term alliances we form motivate us.

Our ability to forge and maintain partnerships through funding actions that have the potential to reverse the continent’s declining development trajectory is what makes us strong. We constantly aim to accomplish more because it is our purpose to promote sustained influence throughout Africa.

The application window is open from October 23, 2023, to November 10, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. (WAT). Those who are selected for funds will be asked to submit a complete proposal that includes a comprehensive budget.

Proposals must demonstrate a solid sustainability plan in addition to a good monitoring and evaluation strategy. Organizations will get official notification of the next steps following a thorough evaluation of the proposals by impartial consultants and final proposal selection. Physical visits and interviews will come next.

Our primary goal

• Promoting growth and learning in both host communities and the social enterprise value chain
• Encouraging social impact projects in the fields of leadership, entrepreneurship, health, and the environment.
• Including stakeholders who offer answers to problems pertaining to host communities in all of our emphasis areas.
