CivFund provides the infrastructure for philanthropists to offer flexible, accessible and responsive funding to civil society in Africa.
CivFund is a feminist fund that provides flexible, accessible and responsive funding to civil society in Africa. It acknowledges that access to funding remains challenging for differently organised entities, individuals and collectives due to restrictive compliance requirements. CivFund seeks to provide a platform through which philanthropists can use its infrastructure to support civil society and ensure equity, equality and access to donor resources.

Organisations must align with CivFund's vision, mission and values. The work supported must be legal and in no way jeopardise CivFund's tax status, meet the requirements outlined in the CivSource Africa/CivFund client charter, and the project budget must meet CivFund's budget guidelines, which include a management fee agreed upon at the beginning of the fiscal hosting relationship.
