African NGOs are navigating a fundraising environment that is becoming more complex and demanding. From identifying the right funders to strengthening proposals, improving communication, and adapting to new trends like AI and digital fundraising, the questions are real and often urgent.

But finding practical, relevant answers is not always easy. Too often, guidance is generic, disconnected from local realities, or difficult to access when needed most.

This is the reason @AfricanNGOs and Hexa Media Africa created the Ask The Experts section on the African NGO Fundraising Hub.

At its core, Ask The Experts is a simple idea – African NGOs share their fundraising questions, and experienced African fundraising experts provide practical, grounded answers. These are not theoretical responses. They are shaped by people who understand the realities of fundraising on the continent – the constraints, opportunities and day-to-day challenges that African NGOs face.

Since the launch of the Hub, we have received a steady stream of questions from NGOs across Africa. These questions reflect the issues many organisations are grappling with, including:

• How to strengthen grant proposals and improve success rates;
• How to identify and approach the right donors;
• How to communicate impact more effectively;
• How smaller or emerging organisations can compete for funding;
• How to make use of new tools and technologies for fundraising.

Each selected question is shared with one of the Hub’s nine fundraising experts, who provide a response, which is then published on the Hub and shared more widely on LinkedIn. In this way, one organisation’s question becomes a resource that many others can learn from.

Refer to https://ngofundraising.africa/ask-the-experts to view the fundraising questions and expert answers we have already published on the Hub.

The Ask The Experts section is an important part of what the Hub aims to become – not just a source of information, but a shared learning space where practical knowledge is developed and shared collectively.

As a result, we seek to engage more African NGOs and learn about their fundraising questions and challenges. The more questions we receive, the more relevant and useful the responses will be, not only for those who ask them, but for the wider community of NGOs facing similar challenges.

We encourage African NGOs to take advantage of this opportunity.

The process is simple, and the potential value is significant.
