The Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment promotes social change by serving as a source of knowledge, network of partnerships, and a motivation for innovation and community engagement across the continent.

We aspire to build a new generation of African experts, researchers and academics through our learning offerings programmes, short courses, research and publications, convenings, initiatives and dialogues. We are proud to partner with organisations whose mandates align with our vision, and are proudly located within Wits Business School at Wits University, one of Africa’s leading institutions of higher education.
