Below is a high-level overview of our strategic roadmap, which will be refined over time as we progress.
"Instrument", refers to ways of deploying capital to achieve our goal of sustainable development for Africa and its global diaspora.
At no point will any of the instruments listed below provide a capital return to individual investors.
Launch our platform and fund, opening access to contributors around the globe.
Begin engaging partners in establishing short-term community impact projects which sustain their impact and serve as proof points and learning opportunities for us.
Open our scope of funding to provide the Caribbean islands and residents access to our instruments.
Begin establishing long-term projects that will compound impact over time as we evolve the projects with gathered learning, creating sustainable change in communities.
Establish a solidarity fund to provide unrestricted donations and relief to grassroots initiatives supporting vulnerable communities.
Start offering grants to social entrepreneurs or researchers working to create systemic and/or sustainable impact in their communities. These grants can serve as a stipend, allowing them to focus entirely on their project or be used to achieve specific goals, such as conducting research or developing prototypes.
Create a program to promote economic growth and entrepreneurship in Africa and its diaspora through sustainable microfinancing. Partner with local organisations to provide small business owners with low or no-interest loans, training, and support.
Expand the regional scope of our instruments to improve outcomes and conditions for Africa's diaspora residing in Latin America.
Launch an impact investment arm focused on providing equity capital to high-potential social enterprises and startups that demonstrate measurable social or environmental impact alongside financial returns.
Offer repayable debt financing to fund medium-term projects and small to medium sized businesses.
Expand the regional scope of our instruments to improve outcomes and conditions for Africa's diaspora globally, including, but not limited to, African Americans.
Acquire and develop physical assets to drive impact, such as innovation hubs, community centres, and shelters. These facilities will serve as hubs for collaboration, education, and support.
Pursue strategic mergers and acquisitions to consolidate resources and expand our reach, capital and impact.
Implement and evolve a framework to evaluate and evolve the effectiveness of the capital deployed.
Foster strong, inclusive relationships with the communities we serve through active and ongoing engagement strategies.
Establish and scale strategic collaborations with local, regional, and international partners to extend our reach and impact.
Develop and implement technology solutions to enhance our impact and effectiveness of deployed capital.
