There are many ways to support Anansi’s mission and get involved. We are an organization that was built on a network of supporting and involved family and friends. Over the 20 years, the Anansi family has broadened to include dedicated individuals and groups from across the globe.
Anywhere
Donate
General donations will be allocated to student sponsorships, the Efutu Project, and operating costs, based on program needs.
Sponsor a Student
Student sponsorships have been the core of Anansi’s work for more than 20 years.
In the United States
Attend the Annual Art Auction
The Anansi Auction is an annual fundraiser in Bellingham, Washington. This event is the primary way that Anansi engages sponsors and raises funds. The evening includes a silent auction and wine reception, delicious small bites, and live auction. Both auctions feature the varied and beautiful artistic traditions of West Africa, providing a tangible connection to the communities Anansi serves.
Volunteering and Skills Donations
Anansi’s US operations are completely volunteer run. Skills donations have included sewing items for the Annual Art Auction, fundraising campaigns, and more.
In Ghana
Travel
Ghana is a country famous for its smiles and warm personalities. Attractions include history, wildlife, and cultural activities. With roots in West African travel, Anansi has hosted more than 30 donors and volunteers. Anansi graduates act as guides and interpreters for visitors and transportation can be arranged for travel across Ghana’s landscapes and cultures.
Volunteer Placement
The Anansi team provides free placement for adult volunteers in the Central Region of Ghana. With board members and long-established network in Ghana, we are able to arrange for volunteer opportunities in education, the medical field, the tourist industry, agriculture, and business administration. Placement through Anansi has made it possible for volunteers to work in communities where volunteer-based programs do not otherwise exist.
