The Green Fund Africa
Empowering Africa’s Emerging Climate Leaders
Supporting African youth with $500 – $10,000 USD micro-grants and resources to drive local climate solutions, we center equity and justice in every effort. Together, we’re fostering resilient, climate-smart communities across sub-Saharan Africa.
COMMUNITY HUBS
Investing in Sustainable HBCU Communities To Thrive
Community Hubs bring lasting benefits by fostering access to green spaces, clean energy, and economic opportunities in communities surrounding historically Black colleges and universities. Through mentorship, training, internships, and HBCU student-led initiatives, we invest in creating thriving sustainable communities and prepare HBCU students for careers in sustainability.
