Our Mission

Our mission is to contribute to the preservation of important African wilderness areas, as well as to empower the communities living alongside these spaces, contributing to a world in which people and wildlife live together, sustainably, forever.

To do this, we work with distinguished nonprofit funds and trusts carrying out impactful conservation and community projects in Africa. By assisting them through raising awareness and funding, ACCF provides support for these important initiatives.

Our History

The African Community & Conservation Foundation (ACCF) identified the need for a gateway platform to connect people all over the world with the strategic and sustainable community and conservation programs underway in Africa. Drawing on the experience of CEO Brady Forseth, the vision is to raise awareness and much-needed funding for the best organizations who are at implementing these programs with superior, long-term results.

ACCF was founded in 2018 and is a United States public charity exempt from Federal Income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Our founding Project with the Grumeti Fund, located in the western corridor of the Serengeti, has paved the way to expand and grow our impact across Africa. The latest ACCF expansion Projects include Karingani in Mozambique, the Rwanda Project – Volcanoes National Park, and The Malilangwe Trust in Zimbabwe.

Anti-Poaching

Wildlife is under constant threat of poaching for commercial bushmeat, habitat encroachment, charcoal extraction and the illegal trade of wildlife contraband such as ivory and rhino horn. To combat these ecosystem threats we support anti-poaching efforts that combine cutting-edge technology with boots on the ground.
