Thank you for your interest in the U.S. African Development Foundation.  We are an independent United States Government agency working to grow profitable businesses and sustainable social enterprises that benefit the poor and marginalized communities in 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.  For more information on our work, please refer to www.usadf.gov.  To determine whether your organization and its project are applicable for possible USADF funding, please refer to our grant guidelines and the specific countries in which we operate http://www.adf.gov/funding.html   If your work meets our guidelines, you should contact the ADF representative office in your country with your funding inquiry to ascertain that you are eligible and to initiate the application process directly from there.  

Know that we are unable to fund individuals, scholarships, or other academic studies.   If you are applying for funding from an African country in which we are not operating, we are unable to fund your work.  You may contact the U.S. Embassy in your country for other possible sources of U.S. government support.  

Should your email inquiry not be addressed by this email, the ADF communications office will contact you.  Best wishes on your endeavors.  

USADF – Ending the poverty of a million Africans by investing in their ideas.

Take care,
