Find the calls you can win
A directory of open calls taken from funders' own pages. Each is tested against your country, registration and size before you see it. How the check works
Grants you can win. Drafts you can defend.
Afrant tells you plainly when your organisation is not eligible for a call, and writes applications from your own documents with a source for every figure.
In pilot, by invitation. Funding comes from all over the world; Afrant brings the calls meant for Africa to the organisations that can win them.

Which grants fit us best this month?
Two open calls fit. The strongest is Innovations in adolescent mental health: Kenya is on its list, and your counselling programme matches its first theme. It closes on 20 January.
The East Africa Youth Wellbeing Call is a fair fit. One thing counts against you: it asks for two years of audited accounts, and your library holds one.

Annual report 2025page 6
2. Who we reached
Demand for counselling rose again across Siaya and Homa Bay, most sharply among students in their final school years.
In 2025 our counsellors and peer supporters reached 4,320 young people.
Six health centres and fourteen schools now host weekly sessions, each with a trained counsellor or a pair of peer supporters.
One claim has no source. “the largest youth mental health provider in the county” is not supported by any document in your library.
The sample workspace. The organisation, the call and the figures are invented.
From the call to the final report.
Four jobs that usually live in four places: a spreadsheet, a shared drive, somebody's inbox and somebody's memory.
Write from your own records
Draft section by section in your organisation's voice. Every figure links to the page it came from, and a claim with no source is flagged. How drafting works
Keep every application moving
One pipeline, with the funder's checklist, the tasks, the people and the deadlines in one place.
Never miss a report
When a grant is awarded, Afrant records its conditions and the reports you owe, and reminds you before each one is due.
It says no when the answer is no.
A small team cannot chase every call. Afrant checks the hard rules first, then tells you plainly what counts for you, what counts against you, and what you would need to fix.

Most teams already have a way of doing this. Each part is good at something.
| What you use today | Good at | Where it stops | In Afrant |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Rewording a paragraph you already have | Knows only what you give it; can fill gaps with plausible figures | Drafts only from your own documents, with the source of every figure |
| Listing sites | Seeing many calls and learning the basics | You read each call to find out whether you qualify | Each call is checked against your records, with the reasons |
| A spreadsheet | Two or three applications a year | Does not read the call, remind you or hold the documents | A pipeline with the call's own checklist and reminders |
| A consultant | A large, complex bid | Paid per proposal; the knowledge leaves with them | Your facts and past drafts stay with your team |

Questions people ask first.
What is Afrant?
Afrant is a grants workspace for African NGOs. It checks which open calls your organisation is eligible for and which it is not, drafts applications and supporting documents from your own records with a source for every figure, and keeps track of deadlines, tasks and the reports you owe after an award.
Who is it for?
Small and mid-sized NGOs, CSOs and community organisations in Africa that apply for grants without a dedicated grants department: executive directors, programme managers and grants officers.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
A general chatbot knows only what you give it and can fill gaps with plausible text. Afrant writes only from the facts in your own documents, shows where each figure came from, flags a claim nothing supports, and checks eligibility before you write anything.
Does it guarantee funding?
No. It helps you apply to fewer, better-matched calls with drafts you can defend. The funder decides.
What does it cost?
It is free during the pilot. After that it is $59.99 a month per organisation with 3 members included, billed quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. Each extra member is $12.99 a month.
Is our data safe?
Your documents are visible only to your own team and are stored in the European Union. Personal details Afrant recognises are masked before text is sent to the AI, and any file can be kept away from it. Afrant does not use your content to train AI models.
How do we get in?
Afrant is invitation-only during the pilot. Ask a colleague who uses it to invite you, or join the waiting list on this page.
Afrant is invitation-only.
We are opening it one organisation at a time, so each one gets proper attention. There are two ways in.
- An invitation from a colleague. Once someone you know is using Afrant, they can invite you from their account menu.
- Join the waiting list. Tell us who you are and we will write when a place opens.
It is free during the pilot. See pricing.
