THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The Ambassador Program was established to assist the African University Foundation in raising funds to achieve its mission. The program provides opportunities for all volunteers who are motivated to help realize African University in Tali, Cameroon through fundraising. Thus, ambassadors play critically important roles in advancing the work of African University Foundation. The Ambassador Program includes individuals who are appointed for a renewable one-year period and who assist the Board of Trustees and professional staff in furthering the mission and fundraising goals of African University Foundation. Depending on vacancy, effective ambassadors may be invited to join African University Foundation Board of Trustees.

Ambassadors form a circle of individuals dedicated to raising funds for their specific African University Foundation program or project. They are motivated by their interest in advancing African University Foundation’s mission and focus their efforts towards raising funds to achieve that end using fundraising vehicles of their choice. While an ambassador may choose to host a special event such as a house party another one may elect to organize or participate in a community event such as a walk, run or soccer tournament.

There are many opportunities for an ambassador to design a fundraising event. African University Foundation professional staff will review your fundraising plan and help advise you to ensure success. Contact the African University Foundation to discuss this opportunity. Once your fundraising initiative is approved, you can proceed with your event.

We are looking for individuals who are committed and passionate about finding new ways of addressing African development in general and education in particular. Please reflect on the Ambassador role before completing the following application.

Overview

We are seeking a diverse pool of potential members of the Board of Trustees of the African University Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana. African University Foundation is strengthening its Board of Trustees to provide effective leadership to realize the first phase of African University in Tali, Southwest Region, Cameroon. We expect potential board members to have some familiarity with any of the following: governance, fundraising, finance, or communications.

African University Foundation provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to make a difference in realizing phase one of African University and transforming the lives of the students who will be enrolled in the new institution. African University Foundation is a unique platform for donors to accelerate positive change in the African social context.

African University will inspire faculty and students to dream of a new world and find real solutions to real-world problems. It will cultivate leaders as change agents for good in society. African University will produce critical thinkers and problem solvers who can enhance Africa’s capacity to develop relevant solutions to the problems in Africa. The initiative began with a significant land grant by community elders in Tali for the purpose of building the new university. Since then, we have surveyed the land and empowered women through training in microbusiness, health, and micro agriculture. We have also conducted a community health baseline survey and development seminars for the community. We have used local labor and professional services for these efforts. We are currently completing construction on a 12,000 square feet University multipurpose building in Tali. In 2023, we plan to implement a community microfinance program to promote economic and agricultural development in Tali and complete planning for a farm on the African University site.

This has been a fascinating journey, and we are so proud of the progress being made on the ground in Tali.
