About
Segal Family Foundation (SFF)
At
Segal, we believe in a world where development is steered by grassroots leaders
and power is shifted into the hands of communities. We work across Sub-Saharan
Africa and strive to be true partners to our grantees. We want to change the
power dynamics inherent in traditional philanthropy and prove that a new, more
equitable, and responsive approach is not only more fair, but more effective.

We
support 200+ incredible organizations who are finding local and scalable
solutions to Sub-Saharan Africa’s most pressing development challenges. We
offer our grantee partners financial and capacity building support, aimed at
giving them a larger network of peer organizations and like-minded funders to
share learnings and new opportunities as well as provide technical expertise.
Our
vibrant team of 14 is spread across the globe. We work virtually across
continents, and our Africa team is spread across 4 countries. We move fast and
adapt quickly as we find new and exciting ways to push our mission forward.
We’ve got a lot of ambition, and we are looking for team members that will
continue to help us punch above our weight.

This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
