This address is a suite or unit (STE 900). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• ACELI AFRICA'S TARGET IS TO UNLOCK $1.6B IN PRIVATE SECTOR LENDING FOR INCLUSIVE AGRICULTURAL SMES IN EAST AFRICA THROUGH YEAR-END 2030. WITH ACCESS TO LENDING, AGRICULTURAL SMES CAN DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRODUCTIVITY AND MARKET ACCESS OF SMALLHOLDERS, WHILE CREATING JOBS ACROSS THE VALUE CHAIN. DURING OUR FIRST FOUR YEARS OF OPERATIONS (SEPTEMBER 2020-DECEMBER 2024), 42 ACTIVE ACELI LENDING PARTNERS REGISTERED LOANS TOTALING $283M ACROSS THE INITIAL FOUR FOCUS COUNTRIES (KENYA, RWANDA, TANZANIA, UGANDA) AND NEWLY, ZAMBIA. OF THESE LOANS, 61% ARE TO NEW BORROWERS (DEFINED AS NOT HAVING RECEIVED A LOAN OF $25K+ FROM ANY LENDER IN THE PRIOR THREE YEARS), 57% MEET OUR HIGH STANDARD FOR PROVIDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO WOMEN, 69% CONTRIBUTE TO FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA, AND 17% MEET OUR CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT IMPACT BONUS. THE SMES RECEIVING ACELI-SUPPORTED LOANS HAVE CREATED MARKET ACCESS FOR 1.5M SMALLHOLDER FARMER SUPPLIERS AND EMPLOYMENT FOR 52K FULL-TIME WORKERS.AS OF DECEMBER 2024, 42 LENDERS HAD SIGNED LEGAL AGREEMENTS WITH ACELI AND AN ADDITIONAL 8 WERE IN NEGOTIATIONS OR IN THE PROCESS OF SIGNING. OF THE 42 ACCREDITED LENDERS, THREE-QUARTERS ARE COMMERCIAL BANKS OR NON-BANK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS DOMICILED IN EAST AFRICA. ACELI AFRICA'S TARGET IS TO INCREASE ADDRESSABLE DEMAND BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO OVER 1000 AGRICULTURAL SMES THROUGH YEAR-END 2030 TO IMPROVE THEIR CAPACITY TO ACCESS AND MANAGE FINANCE. ACELI OFFERS A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR EARLY-STAGE AGRICULTURAL SMES WITH ANNUAL REVENUES OF $50K-500K, LIMITED ACCESS TO FINANCE, AND BASIC NEEDS IN BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. OUR PARTNERS IMPLEMENT THE HYBRID TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES A SERIES OF WEBINARS AND COLLABORATION IN A PEER LEARNING NETWORK PAIRED WITH INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING FOR THE LEADERSHIP TEAM FROM EACH AGRI-SME AS WELL AS IN-PERSON KICK OFF SESSIONS FOR NETWORKING. THE SELECTED SMES ARE LOCATED ACROSS ALL FOUR FOCUS COUNTRIES. OVERALL, PARTICIPATING SMES PROVIDE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAM. WE HAVE ALSO DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED OUR TA OFFERING FOR GROWTH AND LATE-STAGE AGRICULTURAL SMES THAT HAVE OUTGROWN THE BASIC NEEDS OF EARLY-STAGE SMES BUT STILL STRUGGLE TO QUALIFY FOR AND/OR MANAGE FINANCING (ANNUAL REVENUES OF $500K-$5M). OUR OFFERING IS TARGETED TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC BARRIERS, INCLUDING INTERNAL OPERATIONS, DATA MANAGEMENT, AND MANAGERIAL CAPACITY. TECHNOSERVE IS THE SERVICE PROVIDER FOR GROWTH-STAGE SME COHORTS. IN LIGHT OF THE DIVERGENT AND SPECIFIC NEEDS OF LATE-STAGE SMES, WE HAVE CONTRACTED SEVEN PROVIDERS ACROSS ACELI'S FOUR FOCUS COUNTRIES TO OFFER CUSTOMIZED TO TA TO LATE-STAGE SMES. INTERESTED SMES UNDERGO A DIAGNOSTIC AND ARE OFFERED A VOUCHER THAT COVERS A PORTION OF THE COST OF TA.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
