CorpsAfrica is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering African youth and connecting them with rural communities to create sustainable, locally led solutions. Through your support, Volunteers implement projects that transform communities, build leadership skills, and foster long-term economic opportunities.

To make supporting CorpsAfrica even easier, we now offer a new giving platform that streamlines non-cash donations. These tax-savvy giving options allow donors to make a greater impact while supporting African youth and their communities.

Non-Cash Giving Options for Maximum Impact

1. Gifts of Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated stock can reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes while providing a full charitable deduction for the gift’s value. This allows you to make a larger impact without spending additional cash.

2. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from an IRA
For donors 70.5 or older, contributions from a Traditional IRA can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and lower taxable income, all while supporting CorpsAfrica’s work on the ground.

3. Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to CorpsAfrica from funds already set aside, no extra spending required. This streamlined process integrates with your DAF custodian and ensures that your gift reaches our Volunteers and communities quickly and securely.

These giving options have always been available, but this new platform makes the process faster, easier, and more secure, turning non-cash generosity into lasting community impact.

Give from your IRA

If you’re 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to maximize impact and reduce your taxable income. This tool links directly with your DAF, lets you recommend your gift, and notifies us instantly.

Making a Gift

Supporting CorpsAfrica through these smarter giving options ensures that Volunteers can continue their vital work in rural communities, training youth, launching small businesses, and fostering sustainable solutions that will last for years to come.

Every contribution transforms communities, strengthens African youth as leaders, and ensures that ideas and initiatives continue to grow long after a Volunteer’s year of service.

Support Our Work

CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: engaging youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty. We recruit and train motivated volunteers to live and work in rural, under-resourced areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and, by doing so, gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.

CorpsAfrica trusts youth and communities to help each other.
