Support Our Work
Invest in Voice. Uplift Community. Build Justice.
AFRISOTA exists to amplify African immigrant voices, preserve our cultural legacy, and transform the systems that shape our lives. From empowering youth through Ubuntu Circles to uplifting family wellness and shifting public narratives—your support makes it all possible.
Whether you're donating $10 or $1,000, your gift directly strengthens the lives of African immigrants in Minnesota.
While we are currently applying for our own 501(c)(3) status, we are seeking a partnership with a fiscal sponsor to accept tax-deductible donations.
Your gift supports storytelling, youth empowerment, family healing, and systems change for African immigrants in Minnesota.
