Ubuntu Futures Fund: Investing in Long-Term Impact

The Ubuntu Futures Fund is Osiri University’s long-term investment vehicle, a growing endowment designed to ensure the sustainability, reach, and innovation of the university for generations to come.

Launched in 2025, the Ubuntu Futures Fund is more than a financial reserve, it’s a long-term commitment to educational transformation.

At Osiri University, we know that to fulfill our mission of tuition-free, globally relevant, African-centered education, we must build an institution that lasts. The Ubuntu Futures Fund is how we get there, with the goal of raising $10 million over five years to support Osiri’s strategic priorities.

What makes this fund unique is its focus on both resilience and innovation. Donations to the Futures Fund are directed toward:

  • Student Access and Wellbeing: Ensuring that students have the technological, financial, and wellness support they need to thrive.
  • Faculty Development and Research: Funding fellowships, research grants, and cross-disciplinary collaboration led by African scholars.
  • Digital and Open Infrastructure: Investing in the platforms, tools, and resources that power Osiri’s online learning ecosystem.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Expanding Osiri’s global network and incubating initiatives with real-world impact.

The Ubuntu Futures Fund creates a stable foundation that allows Osiri to remain tuition-free and values-driven while expanding reach and deepening quality. It ensures that we can respond to crises, seize opportunities, and grow on our terms.

Every donation to the fund, no matter the size, helps build an independent, resilient institution rooted in justice, access, and the long-view.

We invite you to be part of that future. Your contribution is not just to a university. It is to a movement that will continue to shape minds, communities, and futures for decades to come.
