African Women's Development Fund USA

AWDF USA℠ was created by the Ghana-based African Women's Development Fund (AWDF), with a coalition of American women leaders, to spread awareness about the tremendous impact of African women-led organizations on communities across the continent. We provide philanthropic advisory and management services, research, education, travel, and networking to build communities in the United States with an interest in African women's leadership and development. AWDF USA has been supported by a diverse client and donor base of individuals, corporations and international funders including Global Fund for Women, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Firelight Foundation, and the Northwest Area Foundation among others. We are led by some of the world's most experienced African women's development and philanthropy leaders. A new model for African development, we are proud of our accomplishments so far in partnership with AWDF.
