About the Foundation

Why It Exists

Altius Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Altius Circle. It exists on a simple conviction: the next great African leader should never be held back by a lack of funds.

Through scholarships, fee support, and educational resources, the Foundation ensures that financial hardship does not become the deciding factor in who gets access to transformation.

The Foundation is fully governed by an independent Board. The Founder does not access Foundation funds. An annual report is published every year for complete donor transparency.

How We Stay Accountable

Partner Commitment
Donors contribute $200 per year to the Foundation. One-time gifts are also welcome.
Board Oversight
An independent Board reviews all scholarship applications and selects recipients. The Founder is not on the selection committee.
Financial Integrity
The Founder of Altius Circle does not have access to Foundation funds. The Foundation operates a completely separate account.
CEO Rotation
The Foundation's CEO rotates every four years to ensure fresh leadership and prevent concentration of power.
Annual Reports
A full annual report is published every year โ€” covering all income, spending, scholarship recipients (with consent), and outcomes.
