The Indigo Trust funds organisations using digital technologies to improve transparency and accountability in sub-Saharan Africa

We provide small and high-risk grants (usually £10,000-20,000) to early-stage projects or organisations in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda aimed at stimulating innovative approaches to transparency, accountability and citizen empowerment work. We particularly focus our efforts on supporting projects with low operating costs or sustainable business models and which use appropriate technology that is widely adopted locally. We give a strong preference to organisations based in Sub-Saharan Africa, as opposed to simply working there.
