Community Foundation Development in Ghana

About this grant

The project goal is to support the development of community foundations in Ghana. The Pure Trust Foundation introduced the community foundation concept to 75 communities across Ghana since the start of the project in 2020. To date, there are 21 registered community foundations supported through the project. During the previous period, the grantee introduced the community foundations to the concept of endowments, connected them to global learning platforms and convened the foundations to encourage learning. Over the next period, the Pure Trust Foundation will continue to strengthen existing community foundations by building their capacity to raise resources and other forms of support from their communities, deepening support for endowment building and grantmaking and supporting networking efforts. Based in Tamale, in the northern region, the Pure Trust Social Investors Foundation was established in 2014 to create social and economic solutions that are inclusive to the poorest communities across Ghana.
