Overview
The Zimbabwe Programme is a national programme through which we fund local organisations involved in supporting the hopes and aspirations of Zimbabweans, particularly those furthest from opportunity.
We support organisations operating in the following priority areas: helping families and communities thrive; building skills and fostering entrepreneurship; supporting children and others with special needs; and making strategic grants that empower Zimbabweans to improve their lives and communities. We align our grant-making to government and international development goals.
Please note that we are currently not accepting requests for funding for the Zimbabwe Programme.
