About Us

Ashesi University Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organisation registered as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington, USA. 

The Foundation supports Ashesi’s mission to educate ethical, entrepreneurial leaders that will help build a flourishing Africa. We do this by raising funds, supporting efforts to expand Ashesi’s global network, and helping connect volunteers with the university. The Boards of the Foundation and the University collaborate to shape our work and ensure mission alignment.

Emeritus Board Directors

"For me, an investment in Ashesi is an investment in creating real change. It’s the difference between investing in one organization or investing in an incubator that will generate thousands of people who will go on to change the world."
