Throughout the year, we participate in a variety of giving opportunities, both in person and digitally. Becoming a matching donor will allow us to leverage your gift and our impact during specific events; for example: #GivingTuesday or International Philanthropy Day. Join us in amplifying our impact.
The SBS Bursary gift is US$5,000 and allows donors to help fund the partnership between SBS and another NGO, ultimately funding two organizations with one gift. This investment lowers the certification fee from US$5,000 to as low as US$1,500 and subsidizes 100% of SBS’s direct costs in the partner’s training. Ultimately, a Bursary donor is helping bring SBS into a new community through this innovative scholarship model.

Donor Testimonials
“Empowering women through entrepreneurship creates change for families and communities. Street Business School partners with local women to develop their entrepreneurial skills, build their confidence and increase their financial literacy creating an innovative, achievable, and scalable pathway out of poverty. The Schooner Foundation is proud to be a funding partner for SBS and their proven expansion initiative.”
Georgia Welles is an inspiration. In her eighties, she is still an avid supporter of the arts and fly fishes regularly. She relentlessly advocates for conservation and smart approaches to social change. It’s this quality and her acumen and moxie that makes Georgia an incredible partner to SBS. Just recently, she doubled her support and made her second, three-year commitment to support the expansion of SBS. We are honored to have dynamic supporters like Georgia.
“SDL Foundation is proud to continue our funding, partnership and friendship with Street Business School. The passion to 'ignite the potential in 1 million women' of SBS employees, volunteers, alumni, GCP’s and the women who are changing their lives is outstanding. We are privileged to be a part of SBS’s legacy and look forward to the next steps of their incredible life-changing work in Africa and beyond.”
“Street Business School’s willingness to work with our partners reflects the commitment to collaboration that we value highly. As an SFF partner, we believe SBS is an innovative way to provide entrepreneurial education for women living in the most vulnerable communities in Africa.”
“Moxie is a huge fan and proud supporter of Street Business School! We recognize that social enterprise (as a path out of poverty) is in their DNA. They have packaged the best of their expertise and experience to ignite would-be entrepreneurs worldwide. The results speak for themselves.”
