At Mergon, we deeply value funders and philanthropists who share our heart to see God’s kingdom advanced. We believe effective partnerships are built on clarity, trust, and a shared sense of purpose. When these foundations are in place, collaboration brings greater capacity, richer insight, and essential unity.
1. Clear mission
2. Shared strategy
Africa holds immense potential to bless the world - and we’re passionate about seeing it unleashed. Our work centres on three strategic focus areas that we believe can most powerfully transform the continent:
· Christ-centred leadership development
· Next-generation discipleship
· Reaching least-reached peoples
At the same time, we recognise that funders may bring specific priorities - such as strengthening ministry capacity, supporting at-risk children, or engaging a particular unreached group. Where these align with our core framework, we are committed to shaping and fulfilling such priorities with flexibility and openness.
Our heart is to be a trusted partner who adds value to the grantmaking journey. To that end, Mergon invests in professional capacity - covering operational overheads at no cost to peer funders. Our experienced team brings cultural agility across diverse African contexts, identifies and supports fundable ministries, facilitates healthy and effective projects, and ensures due diligence and transparent reporting.
How you can fund through Mergon
Mergon manages grantmaking both for our own giving and on behalf of peer funders, at no additional cost. You can partner with us in two ways:
1. Fund ministries directly
Support ministries in Africa with your own designated giving. Our team conducts due diligence, recommends grants, and provides full accountability through ongoing relationships and reporting.
2. Directly to Mergon
Contribute directly to the Mergon Foundation, joining your funds with ours. Your gift is allocated alongside our existing grants to expand the reach and impact of trusted ministries across Africa.
