Structural Hunger Fund
378 million face structural hunger. What if the solution wasn’t food aid—but helping farmers increase yields, reduce crop loss, and connect to markets?
Let’s Chat
We’d love to walk you through the strategy behind the fund. Join us for a next-step conversation designed for prospective givers who believe addressing structural hunger is one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty.

“If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always.”
The Problem: Hundreds of Millions of People Structurally Undernourished
Solving Structural Hunger: The Strategy in 3 Minutes
Hunger is the fault line beneath countless crises, the base problem on which so many others rest.
It drives sickness, disease, and death; fuels desperation that erodes values and leaves entire communities vulnerable to exploitation and instability. Solve hunger, and the scaffolding of suffering built on it begins to collapse.
Mapping Hunger
673 million people—8.2% of the world’s population—are undernourished.
Of those, 295 million face acute hunger driven by war, drought, and economic collapse. But 378 million suffer from structural hunger — caused by low agricultural productivity, broken supply chains, and low purchasing power. This SWGP Fund focuses on structural hunger — the systemically solvable portion of the crisis.
*According to the World Food Program.
BY THE NUMBERS
The Strategic Starting Point: Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa is the epicenter, with 173 million people, ~13% of its population, facing structural hunger. Here, the greatest need intersects with the greatest long-term opportunity.
This is our starting point. The solution to Africa’s hunger problem lies within the very soil of the continent itself. Africa holds 60% of the world’s remaining arable land, yet imports $50bn of food annually and only exports 4% of the global food supply – imported food costs more and devalues currencies. The Solving Structural Hunger Fund exists to strengthen the supply chains within the continent, so that every consumer can access healthy food at affordable prices. Every partnership feeds both soul and body.

The Opportunity: Turbocharging Progress
The Opportunity: Turbocharging Progress
Through the strategic combination of Capital, Content, and Community, we’re rallying the world around Africa’s greatest problem-solvers. We facilitate collaborative ideation and raise capital through collaborative giving DAFs that are deployed in a comprehensive capital stack of grants and investments best suited to solve the problem. Any returns made on investments are circulated back into the fund to further solve the problem.
We define winning as catalyzing a solution to the point where market forces take over. We measure:
1
The number of farmers moving from starvation to sustainability to surplus farming.
2
The number of people shifting from undernourished to nourished.
3
The economic growth created by the increase in value of goods going through the value chain.
Success means scaling what works until commercial markets carry it forward.

The Power of Building, Investing and Giving Together
The Solving Structural
Hunger Fund
SWGP Giving Funds unite world-class portfolio management with the Faith Driven content and community you trust—transforming generosity into impact.
God calls us to radical generosity—not obligation, not guilt, but an invitation to the joy-filled adventure. When you’ve been rescued you want to rescue others, this is your moment.
You want to give. You want to find that cause to rally around. But we don’t have the time or tribe to be intentional.
Busy lives don’t leave room to analyze every investment or vet every charity. We’re overwhelmed, pulled in a hundred directions. Deep down, we know there has to be a better way. That’s why we’re building collaborative giving funds—uniting content, community, and tools that make it possible to do more, together.
Independent Strategic Review Every 2 Years
We are committed to excellence and transparency, which is why we invite independent third-party organizations to evaluate our work. Every two years, each fund undergoes an external review that is made available to prospective donors and partners. This review outlines the fund’s theory of change, portfolio analysis, governance, operations, and grantmaking practices. It also reviews investment activity and verifies the accuracy of reporting—ensuring donors can give with confidence and clarity.
