Zimbabwe Alliance

The Zimbabwe Alliance is a funder/advocate partnership to promote a vibrant civil society and democratic transformation in Zimbabwe. Collaboration is the center piece of the Zimbabwe Alliance model. The alliance is non-partisan and does not accept corporate funds.

In addition to donor collaboration we target support to initiatives that involve civil society collaboration. We focus on traditionally marginalized groups including women, youth, and community based organizations.

By engaging in thorough due diligence and wide consultation, we identify, engage and support local civil society initiatives through:

• Grantmaking
• Advocacy
• Capacity Building & Networking
• International Solidarity

The Zimbabwe Alliance pools resources from diverse funders to enhance impact and coordinate strategy. Donors of any size can participate. TrustAfrica, a 501(c)(3) organization, serves as both fiscal manager and grants administrator for the alliance.
