Strategic philanthropy

Your contribution.
Our collective legacy.

By channelling global capital into a self-sustaining investment vehicle, we ensure that funding for African talent and ingenuity is never subject to political or economic volatility.

A permanent asset class

Compounding, not depleting.

Unlike traditional aid which depletes, your contribution is added to our corpus. We only spend the returns — meaning your gift today funds a scholar, a founder, or a sponsorship 100 years from now.

"Built to outlast donors, cycles, and moments."

General Fund

Supports broad scholarships, founder capital, and operational oversight via institutional investment partners.

Specific Fund

Targeted activities in alignment with our mission across 54 African nations.

Named Foundation Funds.

For contributions seeded at $20,000 or more, donors can elect to create a "Named Scholarship" (e.g., The Oben Legacy Scholarship) to honor individuals or families.

$20K
Minimum seed for a donor-named scholarship vehicle.
