How We Invest
How We Invest
GiveSankofa believes resources matter. But resources are more than money.
People creating public good also need time, relationships, coaching, restoration, opportunity, and the freedom to imagine what is possible.
Our investments are designed around four interconnected forms of support.
Financial Investment
We provide financial support that creates capacity, access, and possibility.
Today, our financial investments include Leader in Residence stipends and Sankofa BEE FREE Coaching grants. As GiveSankofa grows, we envision expanding our investment through scholarships, fellowships, grants, and other forms of philanthropic support.
Coaching & Leadership
We invest in the people carrying important work.
Through coaching, reflection, strategic advising, and leadership development, we help people deepen their leadership, navigate transitions, strengthen their capacity, and sustain their contribution over time.
Restoration & Space
We believe restoration is essential to sustainable leadership.
We create space for people to step outside the urgency of daily responsibilities—to rest, reflect, renew, explore important questions, reconnect with purpose, and imagine what might be possible next.
Relationships & Opportunity
Resources alone do not determine what becomes possible. Relationships and access matter too.
GiveSankofa helps connect people to mentors, peers, advisors, networks, learning communities, institutions, and opportunities that can expand their thinking, strengthen their work, and open new possibilities.
Together, these investments reflect a simple belief: when we invest more fully in people, we expand what they can make possible for themselves, their organizations, and their communities.
Leader in Residence

The GiveSankofa Leader in Residence is a funded residency that gives experienced leaders something they are rarely afforded: time, space, investment, coaching, and community to restore, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible next.
