How we’re funded

How we're funded

The small team of amandla.mobi is here to support the work of the real campaigners and change makers in our community, you. Our job is to devote our limited resources to ensuring that your efforts and voices have the most impact possible. To do this and preserve our independence, amandla.mobi accepts donations from a variety of values-aligned donors. We do not accept funds with conditions that compromise the mission of the organisation, funds from political parties and funds directly from corporations or national and foreign governments. 

amandla.mobi is working not only to be a people powered community, but people funded as well. We are working hard to ensure each year we are increasingly funded by our members – whether it’s a R5 airtime donation, a once off R1000 donation or a monthly R50 donation.
