Africa’s Leading Entrepreneurship Philanthropy
The 2026 TEF Entrepreneurship Programme is open and Africa’s next wave of founders is being funded, trained, and mentored.
If you’re building a business with real impact, this is your shot at US$5,000 non-refundable seed capital, business training, mentorship, and a powerful pan-African network. Since 2015, the Programme has funded over 24,000 entrepreneurs, trained 2.5 million Africans, created more than 1.5 million jobs, and generated over US$4.2 billion in revenue, proving that African entrepreneurs can transform the continent.
The Programme is also driving inclusive growth, with women now making up 46% of TEF entrepreneurs – the highest female participation rate recorded by a programme of this scale.
