Lift Up Africa supports sustainable, community development efforts that concentrate on fundamental needs like clean water, basic health care, reliable and sustainable food and energy sources, education, and employment.
- LUA makes small grants that seed projects with growth potential, exhibit community benefit, and are designed to empower people in local areas or communities.
- LUA prefers to support projects specifically intended as replicable models for export to other localities.
- Kenya is LUA's primary focus at this time; however, LUA may consider worthwhile projects located in other African countries if they exhibit strong sponsorship and in-country oversight that is judged to be effective.
- LUA will not support projects that benefit a single individual or any for profit entity.
- LUA will not accept unsolicited grant proposals but will accept an unsolicited letter of inquiry (LOI).
- LUA provides financial support only to projects recommended by respected advisors and friends who can vouch for the integrity of the project and who will agree to provide on-the-ground oversight.
