Support Our Stories

Keep African journalism native.

Build a story with us.

We work with newsrooms, foundations and culture brands that want to back African storytelling without steering it. Partnerships are agreed in writing and disclosed on every published story.

Co-commission a story

Share a byline on a feature, photo essay or audio doc. Editorial control stays with our newsroom.

Fund a beat or desk

Underwrite a year of reporting on a specific theme — climate, music, language, migration.

Back a series

Sponsor a multi-part series across text, photo and podcast with named recognition.

Institutional grants

Long-term operating support from foundations and trusts that share our editorial principles.
