Use a tool first. Bring in expert help when you need it.
Our self-service resources help you check, research and prepare. They complement professional services; they are not donor decisions or formal assessments.

Clear scope. Useful deliverables. Practical follow-through.
We begin with your actual challenge instead of recommending every service at once.
Tell us what you’re working on
Share the funding opportunity, organisational challenge or digital problem. We clarify the decision, goals and constraints.
Agree the right level of support
We review the available evidence, identify gaps and propose a focused engagement with deliverables and responsibilities.
Act, verify and hand over
We support practical improvements, review quality and equip your team to maintain what has been built.
Supporting one organisation—or an entire cohort?
We can scope portfolio-level readiness reviews, evidence-gap analysis, capacity-development programmes and digital support for nonprofit networks and implementing partners. Assessment and delivery are tailored to the organisations involved.
Common questions
Understanding what you will receive is part of making a good funding decision.
What is the difference between a free tool and a professional assessment?
Free tools are lightweight, largely self-reported decision aids. A professional assessment examines supporting evidence and organisational circumstances in greater depth, with qualified human review and a practical plan.
Can you help with one proposal rather than a full assessment?
Yes. We can scope a funding opportunity review, a specific application, a proposal quality review or supporting budgets and MEL work without requiring a wider engagement.
Can smaller, low-connectivity nonprofits use your digital services?
Yes. We consider staff capacity, mobile access, affordability, offline processes and existing tools. A reliable spreadsheet or mobile-money workflow can be more suitable than expensive software.
Do you guarantee a grant or donor approval?
No. Donors make their own funding decisions. Africads helps strengthen fit, evidence, organisational systems and application quality, but cannot guarantee funding.
How is professional support priced?
We recommend a scope based on the work required, available evidence, deadlines, deliverables and implementation needs. Contact us to discuss the most appropriate starting point.
