The Challenge

The client had a broad vision but lacked a structured approach to establish a legally compliant, strategically positioned, and operationally efficient foundation in Africa. They needed guidance on governance, funding models, and program design to ensure long-term sustainability.

Our Approach

  • Conceptualization & Strategy: We worked with the client to define the foundation’s core mission, thematic focus, and operational model.
  • Governance & Compliance: Developed a legal framework for the foundation, including board structure, policies, and regulatory compliance.
  • Strategic Planning: Created a detailed roadmap outlining short-term and long-term priorities, funding strategies, and partnership opportunities.
  • Branding & Positioning: Helped establish the foundation’s identity, storytelling approach, and visibility strategy to attract donors and stakeholders.

Impact

  • Successfully registered and launched the foundation.
  • Designed a 5-year strategy that guided funding priorities and project execution.
  • Positioned the foundation and attracted high-value partnerships and funding within its first year.
