The Global Grant Community (GGC) which is a platform of the African Academy of Sciences reduces the cost and time taken to connect major state and philanthropic funders with the world’s most trusted grant receivers, that have a proven track record of managing funding efficiently and effectively.


GGC does not offer any grants to organizations, but help improve financial systems of organizations through a standard and de-risk the due diligence process for both funders and grant receivers through a simplified and digitized platform. However, The African Academy of Sciences offers various opportunities that would be beneficial to your organization.
