Safaricom Foundation is a Kenyan corporate foundation established in 2003 to support programmes that improve lives and strengthen communities. Its work focuses on practical responses to social challenges, including education, health and community development.
What Safaricom Foundation does
The foundation supports initiatives intended to expand opportunity and address community needs. Its historical work has included health programmes, educational support, economic inclusion, environmental projects, disaster response and partnerships with civil-society organisations. Funding themes and programme priorities can change over time, so potential partners should consult the latest published strategy and application criteria.
How to apply for Safaricom Foundation funding
Begin on the official funding application page, and read the eligibility and submission guidance before completing any form. The online application requests applicant contacts, project title, thematic area, implementation duration, county, constituency, budget and work plan. A proposal is not a guarantee of funding.
Preparing a strong project proposal
Describe the community problem clearly, provide evidence of local need and show whom the project will benefit. Explain the activities, timeline, implementation partners, realistic budget and measurable outcomes. Be prepared to submit supporting documents and to respond to the foundation’s verification questions.
How proposals are evaluated
Follow the current eligibility rules and advertised funding priorities. Applicants should not assume all project types, geographic areas or funding amounts are accepted. Avoid paying third parties claiming to guarantee a grant.
