The David and Lucile Packard Foundation

Written by Rachel Allies on January 22, 2025. Posted in Education, Foundation, Social Development, South Africa.

The problems we seek to solve are complex, requiring long-term commitment to create lasting change. We select our partners thoughtfully, consistently evaluate our progress, and adjust strategies when needed. Our resources are small compared to these challenges, so we are unable to fund all requests we receive. In a typical year, about 15 percent of our grants are awarded to first-time grantees and less than one percent come from unsolicited proposals. Grants are made only for charitable, educational, or scientific purposes, primarily from tax-exempt charitable organizations.

Addax and Oryx Foundation

Written by Rachel Allies on March 27, 2024. Posted in Education, Foundation, Social Development, South Africa, Youth.

The Addax and Oryx Foundation aims to fund focused, high-impact projects with a clear beginning, end and exit strategy, run by small organisations that have little or no access to large funders. The Foundation gives preference to concrete projects that cover more than one of our key areas of focus: health, education, community development, with environmental stewardship cutting across all activities, in the knowledge that they are all crucial to the journey out of extreme poverty.

The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation

Written by Rachel Allies on March 26, 2024. Posted in Environment, Foundation, Social Development, South Africa, Youth.

The Foundation funds applied research, pilot projects, new initiatives, training, and technical assistance, rather than ongoing support for programs that are already well underway. An important goal for the Foundation is to provide seed money to help promising projects, organizations, and individuals develop the track record they need to attract major foundation funding in the future.

Written by Rachel Allies on March 26, 2024. Posted in Education, Foundation, Social Development, South Africa, Youth.

Millions of children from low-income backgrounds don’t have the chance to attend a high-quality school. For those who do, unique challenges remain, making it harder for them to get to and through college. We invest in closing these opportunity gaps so all students can pursue a quality education, providing a pathway to prosperity for them and their families.
