Building the infrastructure to source, strengthen, and de-risk community-embedded changemakers — connecting them to diversified philanthropic capital.
African-founded nonprofits and social enterprises start from a trust deficit. They struggle to access the right platforms and funders that can partner in their work. Our changemakers don't need a lot of money to make it to the next step — making them operationally inefficient for mainstream funders to even consider. We exist to change that.

ExploreMoFund and its work is what Africa needs to unlock this funding quagmire that African-founded social enterprises never seem to get out of. Fundraising is so difficult and tedious for so little results.
We are excited to see MoFund Africa taking a different approach to philanthropy and empowering locally-led solutions — incubating social enterprises from within Africa.
Genuine African-founded initiatives struggle with the right donor speak. The trust-building approach taken by MoFund removes real barriers to successful fundraising and increases direct grant making.
Why is only 0.2% of total aid going directly to African-led organizations? The only way to strengthen them is through rebuilding trust with grant makers — one grant maker at a time.
