What We Fund
The NAF funds non-governmental organizations, community based organizations, and social enterprises. We fund organizations from nearly every field, but they must be legally registered in their home country. We fund organizations working in education, poverty reduction, health, and human rights, particularly for marginalized communities. Organizations led by women are especially encouraged to apply.
