Give · The Beneficiaries Fund
Fund Africa’s next creative business talent.
Talent is everywhere; the money isn’t. 500,000 Naira puts one talented person through the whole eleven months. Every place is earned on merit through the CBA Bootcamps, and every Naira is accounted for.
The Fund, so far
Where the Fund stands today.
Confirmed money only. Written pledges are shown separately so the bar never overstates what has actually arrived.
Last updated . Updated by the Creative Talent Foundation as funds are received and reconciled.
What your money does
One place. Eleven months. ₦500,000.
A full scholarship covers the programme fee for one student, from Opening Day in February to graduation in December 2027.
That is a place in one of the three Schools, the Integrated Core business training, a role inside a student company, the Creation Camps in June, and a seat at the graduation showcase in December.
Partial scholarships exist too. Where the Fund cannot cover a full place, it covers part of one and the student pays the rest, which stretches every donation further.
Inside one funded place
Tuition and the learning platform
All taught classes across the eleven months, on the LMS and in live sessions.
The Creation Camps
Weekday residencies in June and July where the real work gets made.
Mentorship and career support
Mentors, the career clinic and the graduates’ career day.
Certification and the showcase
Assessment, certification and a place at the December showcase.
Ways to give
Seven tiers, from one student to six hundred.
Give once or give a cohort. Every tier is counted in places, because that is the only unit that matters here.
Your name, or your company’s, on one student’s full place for eleven months, with formal acknowledgement in the annual report.
Everything in Benefactor, across a small group of students you can follow through the year.
Everything in Patron, with recognition across the programme’s donor communications.
Everything in Champion, with a named group of funded students and reporting on them.
Everything in Innovator, at a scale that visibly shifts how many places the Fund can award.
Everything in Visionary, plus a dedicated impact report on your own cohort, with names, outcomes and placements.
The whole Fund is 600 places. A Legacy Partner can carry a substantial share of it, up to the entire cohort.
Any amount is welcome, including below the first tier. Smaller gifts are pooled into full places and counted the same way.
How to give
Three routes, one recipient.
All donations are received by the Creative Talent Foundation, the non-profit that runs the Beneficiaries Fund. CIIFA Limited facilitates the programme and does not receive donations.
1 · Bank transfer
For Naira and foreign-currency transfers, and for anything above the first tier.
Email the transfer confirmation to the address below so your gift is receipted and counted.
2 · Card and online
For card, transfer and mobile money, in Naira or in dollars.
The online route opens once the payment provider is live. Until then the bank transfer and the conversation route both work.
3 · Talk to us first
For organisations, multi-year commitments, and anyone funding a named cohort.
info@creativetalentfoundation.org
Tell us the number of places you want to carry and we will come back with the paperwork and the reporting you will receive.
How beneficiaries are chosen
Donors fund places. Donors do not pick students.
There is exactly one route into the Fund: the CBA Bootcamps. Participants sit tests, scores accumulate into one cumulative rank, and when scoring closes, scholarships are awarded from the highest score downward until the Fund is spent.
That rule is the whole point. It means a funded place is earned, it means the cut-off is wherever the money runs out, and it means a donor’s wishes cannot move a student up the list. We would rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise.
What we commit to
An updated number
The tracker on this page shows confirmed funds, with the date it was last reconciled.
A receipt and an acknowledgement
Every gift is receipted by the Creative Talent Foundation.
A report at the end of the year
What your money funded, how those students did, and where they went next.
No influence over selection
Scores decide places. Not sponsors, not staff, not us.
₦500,000 is one person’s whole year.
Fund a place, or fund a hundred. Either way it is counted in students.
