Are You Eligible for a Grant?
Classrooms for Africa takes into account factors such as:
- the school has successfully operated for a number of years;
- the school is operated by a credible Christian organization;
- a strong desire to provide quality Christian education;
- the age and number of students being served;
- evidence of strong community support;
- a clear statement of the project and how it will benefit the school;
- the operators of the school must have ownership or long-term lease of the land on which the classroom(s) will be built;
- location - currently the focus is on eastern and southern Africa
Please note the following information on C4A's mandate:
- C4A is aimed very specifically at providing basic classroom space in needy communities. Schools/organizations that wish to go beyond providing basic classroom space are of course free to do so but at their expense.
- C4A has a policy that a usable classroom must result from the providing of a grant. If funds in addition to C4A's grant are needed then the school needs to clearly show the funds are on hand or available.
- C4A only takes on small manageable projects or a portion of a larger project that can be completed to the point at which it can be occupied.
- C4A has a responsibility to its donors to make sure a grant will result in providing usable classroom space.
To be considered for a grant, you need to submit a completed application form either online or by regular mail. All applications will be carefully reviewed and applicants will be contacted if additional information is required. The approval of projects is dependent on meeting the C4A criteria but also on the availability of funds.
Please note that not all applications will be approved.
