SHESA Endowment Fund
Building a permanent capital base to fund SHESA missions in perpetuity.
About this project
The Endowment Fund is the association's long-horizon answer to short-term fundraising fatigue. Instead of raising money project-by-project, we build a permanent capital base and fund every future initiative from the income it generates.
The target is XAF 500 million by the end of 2028. Every gift, however small, is invested in a diversified low-volatility portfolio managed by an independent trustee committee.
Contributors receive an annual statement of the fund's performance, along with a breakdown of the missions it funded that year. Full transparency is not negotiable.
