The Segal Family Foundation is a social impact funder and advisor backing local African leaders with huge potential to transform society and help progressive donors do the same. The foundation invests in early-stage, local leaders with big visions, and its grantmaking team is 100% African, working with local experts to identify visionaries with the potential for great social impact—including those at the beginning of their journey.
