Hundreds of millions of people are structurally undernourished
Develop agricultural value chains & fuel innovation
“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.”
Isaiah 58:10-11Let’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.
Hunger is the number one underlying cause of child deaths and the greatest physical contributor to people not reaching their God-given potential.
It is the fault line beneath countless crises, the base problem on which so many others rest. It drives sickness, disease, and death; it fuels desperation that erodes values and leaves entire communities vulnerable to exploitation and instability. When we solve hunger, the scaffolding of suffering built on it begins to collapse.
Child deaths under 5 caused by hungerpeople are experiencing hunger, and it divides into two very different problems.
Two Types of Hunger
Structural Hunger is Solvable
This SWGP Fund focuses on structural hunger, the systemically solvable portion of the crisis and the type of hunger that contributes most to child deaths.
Sub-Saharan Africa
SSA is the epicenter, and our strategic starting point. Both the hungriest population on the planet and a place with significant macroeconomic tailwinds behind it, creating the ideal opportunity for transformational progress over the coming years.
Backing Africa’s greatest problem solvers
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 often costs more and devalues currencies.
Africa has the talent and the resources. We exist to partner with local innovators to catalyze their solutions.
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.
Increase the local supply of healthy, affordable food.
Strengthen broken supply chains within the continent so harvests reach consumers instead of being lost along the way.
Link farmers to markets and grow purchasing power, so every consumer can access healthy food at affordable prices.
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. The fund backs work that moves people:
→ to sustainability
Farmers growing enough to feed their own families
→ to surplus
Farmers producing beyond their own needs and selling into the value chain
→ to nourished
Consumers accessing healthy food at affordable prices

The quantity of food produced, transported, and delivered to market compared to total consumption needed.
The number of people moving from undernourished to nourished.
The economic growth created by the increase in value of goods going through the value chain.
We define winning as catalyzing a solution to the point where market forces take over. Success means scaling what works until commercial markets carry it forward.
The Structural Hunger Fund exists to coordinate and catalyze the systems needed to reach food security in Sub-Saharan Africa, partnering with local companies and organizations to ensure food can be produced, transported, and consumed at affordable and accessible prices.
The Backbone of Smallholder Agriculture
Hamara
SWGP is partnering with Hamara, a company using blockchain technology to transform fragmented smallholder agricultural markets into coordinated, demand-driven value chains, allowing market forces to align farmers, input providers, logistics operators, and buyers without vertically integrating the value chain. Together, we are piloting a new financial product designed to create a pathway for market-rate capital to flow into one of the world’s most underserved sectors. Through this pilot, we will provide working capital for the broiler (poultry) value chain while intentionally integrating biblical discipleship and partnering with local churches to support the communities we serve.
Catalyzing Smallholder Farmer Productivity
B2R Farms
SWGP is partnering with Bridge2Rwanda Farms and Foundations for Farming to expand a proven agricultural training model that equips smallholder farmers with conservation agriculture practices capable of increasing yields by 100 to 250 percent while integrating biblical principles and creating opportunities for discipleship and gospel conversations. SWGP plans to work with our partners to help those farmers integrate into sustainable value chains over the next year.
The solution to Africa’s hunger problem lies within the very soil of the continent itself.
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: wallets clenched, hearts tugged, minds skeptical. 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.
We are committed to excellence and transparency, which is why we engage independent third-party organizations, including Calvin Edwards & Company, All Access International, and Brightlight Impact, to evaluate our work. Every two years, each fund undergoes an external review 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.

Transfer from your DAF
The Solving the World’s Greatest Problems Giving Funds will be hosted through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). Contributions can be made directly or from an existing Donor Advised Fund at trusted partners like:
Behind every fund is a group of people who decided that caring wasn’t enough. You want to give and a cause to rally around, but busy lives don’t leave much room to be intentional. No one was built to do this alone. This is where you find your people, and where generosity becomes something you do together.
A free, five-session course to find your why, discern your where, and build a plan for how you, your family, or your business will give. No cost. No catch.
