The KIN Fund
A Solidarity Fund for Locally Led Change
The most transformative ideas often begin in communities closest to the challenge. We curate a growing portfolio of locally led initiatives that are strengthening systems, institutions, and communities across Africa. Whether your passion is health, education, climate, livelihoods, or youth leadership, you can invest in opportunities that are rooted in local leadership and designed for lasting impact
How we curate our programs

Designed and led by organisations embedded in their communities.
Potential for lasting impact
Strengthens institutions, systems, or community capacity alongside programme outcomes.
Clear opportunity for catalytic support
Funding can unlock meaningful progress at a critical stage.
The KIN Philosophy: Relational Stewardship
KIN is built on a simple belief: the people closest to a problem should have the power to shape the solution.
We provide resources, trust local organisations to lead, stay alongside them, and remain accountable together for what those resources make possible.
It brings together the rigour of outcomes-focused philanthropy with the trust, flexibility, and power-sharing of trust-based practice.
The Approach
Unlearn
examine inherited assumptions, challenge extractive and paternalistic ways of working, and cultivate more equitable approaches to leadership and partnership.
Accompany
Our Solidarity Accompaniment Network connects leaders with experienced practitioners who provide voluntary technical support tailored to each organization's goals.
Resource
flexible, trust-based financing that enables organisations to invest in their priorities, respond to emerging opportunities, strengthen their institutions, and lead sustainable change.
Steward
shared accountability through reflection, evidence, and continuous learning. Together with our partners, we define meaningful outcomes, learn from experience, and ensure that resources contribute to stronger organisations and lasting community impact.
