6th African Philanthropy Conference

The African Philanthropy Conference is an annual gathering of practitioners, civil society policy influencers and stakeholders to share experiences, reflect as a collective and unpack the impact and way forward for philanthropy on the continent.

The APC has carved out a distinct niche within the philanthropic landscape, strategically focused on a South-South agenda. The APC is intentional on finding ways and means to address the most pressing challenges specific to Africa. Since its founding in 2019, the APC has steadily grown in influence, convening thought leaders across sectors and gathering in locations that reflect the vast regional diversity pervasive in the continent. With each iteration, the APC has refined a vision of philanthropy that moves beyond traditional aid, positioning it as a strategic driver for self-reliance and sustainable development. By rooting its agenda in African values and prioritizing Indigenous knowledge, the APC continues to build a uniquely African approach to philanthropy, one that empowers the continent to lead on its own terms and sets a transformative precedent for the Majority World.
