In a groundbreaking move, the Director-General of Civil Society Organizations on Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHEI), Hon. Kunle Yusuff, has announced a strategic partnership with AI-Grants, a US-based tech platform that simplifies the grant matchmaking and application process.
This innovative collaboration, according to him, is aimed to provide CSCHEI’s institutional members in Nigeria with seamless access to global funding, grants, and interventions.
The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), will see AI-Grants, headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, providing grant-related services to CSCHEI members.
In return, AI-Grants will have the opportunity to promote its services to the CSCHEI network, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement.
According to the DG, the grants will be primarily focused on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate change, green environment, and agribusiness-related programs and projects.
“This strategic alignment with the global Agenda 2030 underscores the commitment to driving sustainable development in Nigeria and beyond.”
“This partnership with AI-Grants is a game-changer for our members. By leveraging the power of AI technology, we can now streamline the grant application process and unlock a world of funding opportunities for our civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations.”
David Luftglass, the CEO of AI-Grants, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with CSCHEI is a testament to our shared vision of empowering the younger generation to build their capital base and align with the United Nations SDGs. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the communities we serve.”
“The partnership’s terms and conditions will be in effect for a period of five years, ensuring a long-term commitment to the success of this initiative.”
In remark, Dr. Okere Sylvester, CSCHEI’s Global Partnership representative, expressed deep gratitude to Hope Sullivan, Esq., a Co-Founder of AI-Grants, for making this partnership a reality.
“This is a remarkable opportunity for CSCHEI to put the entire civil society and non-governmental organizations in Nigeria on the global radar of grants,” said Dr. Sylvester.
“We are excited to see the transformative impact this partnership will have on our members and the communities they serve.”
As the world continues to face complex challenges, this strategic alliance between CSCHEI and AI-Grants stands as a shining example of how technology, innovation, and cross-border collaboration can drive positive change and unlock new avenues for funding and development in the non-profit sector.
