Description
1) Objective
The mission of the Addax and Oryx Foundation is to fight the root causes of poverty in Africa and the Middle East, by supporting projects focused on four core areas: health, education, community development, and environment. They give priority to projects that take a holistic approach, incorporating more than one of their core areas, in recognition of their inter-dependence in the fight against poverty.
Projects must also be anchored in local communities, with individual and collective participation and empowerment, to ensure that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term. They give preference to projects run by highly committed and professional individuals who are directly involved in the projects they propose, and to smaller organisations that do not have access to major governmental or agency funding.
2) Eligibility
Non-profit, non-governmental organisations with a proven experience and competence in the proposed area of activity and demonstrated budget efficiency and transparency in the use of funds are eligible.
3) Location
They fund projects in Africa and Middle East.
4) Budget
Their annual funding volume amounts to up to $1,000,000.
5) Application
Applicants need to fill out the Initial Funding Request form on the organisation’s website which includes uploading a project proposal document plus the latest annual report and registration document. Selected projects are submitted to the Foundation’s Board, which meets 3-4 times per year. Once a project is approved by the Foundation’s Board, it is the subject of a Funding Agreement that defines precisely the duties of the implementing organisation towards the Foundation and vice versa.
