Description
1) Objective
The Dovetail Acceleration Program invests in early-stage, locally-led African organizations. They pair unrestricted funding with structured coaching and capacity support designed to strengthen the foundations required for long-term growth. Their focus is on helping organizations build the clarity, systems, and leadership capacity that support funder readiness and healthy scale.
Many African-led organizations are addressing complex challenges with deep local insight and early evidence of impact. At the same time, institutional funders often prioritize growth-stage organizations that demonstrate: Clear evidence of measurable results; A defined pathway to scale; Strong financial systems; and Strategic leadership and governance. The Acceleration Program exists to help promising organizations strengthen these core building blocks so they are better positioned for long-term funding and growth opportunities.
2) Eligibility
The Acceleration Program is designed for African organizations early in the nonprofit life cycle (typically with budgets under $500,000) that: Have a clearly defined mission and early traction; Have big vision and ambition for the communities they serve; Are committed to strengthening their organizations for durable growth and impact; Are prepared to engage fully in coaching, deliverables, and peer learning.
3) Location
