It is well-known the act of charity can be a rewarding and satisfying act. However, what makes TNF stand out from a long line of organisations, is its emphasis on social and economic impact.
The Nourafchan Foundation (TNF) is the world’s first open-source, participatory philanthropy whose mission is to improve the human condition through social and economic development.
By also serving as a philanthropic incubator and accelerator, we are committed to promoting health, happiness, education, and kindness. Initial priorities include education, healthcare, orphans, women empowerment, youth, and those living in extreme poverty and slums. TNF believes in prioritizing philanthropy and focusing on activities that have the greatest impact, underpinned by the dual objectives of sustainability and scalability. Headquarters are based out of Africa’s largest slum, Kibera, in Nairobi, Kenya, with regional offices located in the US, Middle East, and Asia. His Highness Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan serves as Honorary Chairman.
With active participation at its core, TNF is modeled to revolutionize and aggressively scale the manner in which philanthropy is conducted. TNF will serve as the people’s philanthropy driven by and for the people. Our true scale and scope will encourage participants and supporters to conceive, launch and lead philanthropic initiatives with the support and involvement of TNF. Subsequently, TNF will serve as an open-source platform where best-of-breed practices and initiatives may be replicated, improved upon, and launched elsewhere by other TNF Ambassadors. The result will be the ‘de-fragmentation’ of philanthropies and charities to create an ecosystem and global family of philanthropists.
The Nourafchan Foundation believes in prioritizing philanthropy and deploying time and resources to where it is needed most, no matter how dire or difficult the circumstances. We seek to focus our efforts on sustainable activities that have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people. Regardless of the initiative, TNF will ensure the highest degree of efficiency and efficacy to provide significant value and impact to those sharing their time and resources.
The Nourafchan Foundation was established to honor the memory and continue the legacy of Shahin Allen Nourafchan, who passed away from cancer in 2005 at the age of 30.
