Description: The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) focuses on a small number of specific development problems by forming intellectual and financial partnerships with organizations sharing its objectives. Most Foundation grants are made to grassroots organizations testing innovative approaches in the field.

The Foundation is largely an implementing organization rather than a grant-funding agency. Grants are normally given to local organizations interested in testing new solutions, in learning from experience, and in being agents of lasting change. These organizations must share the Foundation’s and the Aga Khan Development Network’s (AKDN) goals in the fields of health, education, rural development, and strengthening of civil society.

Type of grant: Project – the Foundation funds programs in countries where it has offices and local professional staff to monitor implementation. Does not fund construction or individuals.

Deadline: ongoing

How to apply: There are no formal application procedures. Before developing full proposals, enquiries should be made to the Foundation office in the country where the proposal originates or where the project would be executed. Please note that a precondition for funding is the existence of an office, in the same country, which can evaluate and monitor projects we fund. To check on the existence of an Aga Khan Office in your country of interest, please see: www.akdn.org/akf_grantees.asp
