Donations in Kind

Afrika Burns Creative Projects welcomes donations in kind for use within the organisation, and also to share with the vast network of artists and community beneficiaries. 

Offers of donations in kind are channelled through info@afrikaburn.com and passed onto our HQ team. If accepted, these donations become the assets of the organisation as a whole, but often are suited in the main for use by a particular portfolio or programme.

You may already be a Member donor
