    About Give to Africa:

    Give to Africa is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit connecting global donors with vetted, grassroots nonprofits across Africa. We equip African-led organizations with the tools, funding, and visibility they need to deliver life-saving programs in education, health, women’s empowerment, clean water, and more. Our mission is to make cross-border giving accessible, transparent, and impactful—unlocking generosity to power locally led change.

    Volunteer Role: Grant Writer & Fundraising Volunteer

    We are seeking passionate and skilled volunteers to help us raise critical funds for our growing network of 140+ African nonprofit partners across 10 countries.

    • Contribute to overall fundraising strategy and donor cultivation efforts
    • Collaborate with our team using project tools like Monday.com and Google Workspace

    What We’re Looking For:

    • Strong writing and communication skills
    • Experience in grant writing, fundraising, or nonprofit development (preferred but not required)
    • Passion for social justice, global development, and African-led change
    • Self-starter with the ability to work independently and meet deadlines
    • Comfortable working remotely and collaborating with an international team

    What You’ll Gain:

    • Real-world experience in nonprofit fundraising and grant strategy
    • The chance to directly contribute to African NGOs delivering life-changing services
    • Mentorship from experienced nonprofit professionals
    • Recognition on our website and recommendation letters upon request
