AGAG Legacy Project :
Introducing a new documentary podcast
that tells the story of AGAG

Listen to our podcast documentary, Creating Community that tells the story of AGAG through the voices of a diverse group of grantmaking practitioners. They share candid anecdotes about the dynamics that catalyzed its formation, shaped its evolution, and how the people and discussions influenced them. This podcast documentary is part of the AGAG Legacy Project to capture AGAG’s contributions and work over the past two decades.

“AGAG connects me with individuals and organizations working in the same space with whom I might not otherwise interact. It’s a unique opportunity to make new connections and speak frankly about the opportunities and challenges of philanthropy in Africa.”
