About Us

The Action Africa Giving Circle is a group of compassionate, like-minded women who engage in collective philanthropy and grantmaking to fund social impact projects on the African continent that serve vulnerable women, children and families. Our members understand that by pooling our resources and making strategic decisions together we can achieve greater impact than we can by giving individually. 

Action Africa Giving Circle members:

• Share common values which guide our intention to create a better world.
• Pool our resources to affect real change- together!
• Eagerly learn about the challenging issues facing people in Africa.
• Embrace the giving circle model - that giving is personal and strategic.  
• Know/see 'up close and personally' the communities and people we are assisting. 

Action Africa was started in the United States in 2018 by three founding members who knew that by sharing resources, insights, and awareness, our members could make meaningful, life-changing differences for people who truly have little to no resources of their own.  Forty women-strong in our first year,  we proudly embarked on our first grant cycle in the summer of 2020.
