Thank you for your interest in the +1 Global Fund for Food Security! This Toolkit includes everything you need to contribute as a Network Partner, including how to recommend Nominators, which types of Nominators would be most aligned, how to make nominations yourself, and more. For more context on how +1 works, please see the +1 Overview page.

Recap of Network Partnership

You were approached for network partnership since you are rooted in or otherwise connected to +1 Food Security’s issue and region of interest—food access and resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa*—*and are embedded within a network of proximate experts and changemakers, who in turn can participate as Nominators. As a Network Partner you will help channel philanthropic funds towards locally-led, earlier-stage, and high-potential organizations most proximate to vulnerable communities, and you will be featured on the Roddenberry Foundation’s website and social media channels.

Ideal Nominators

Curious about who to recommend as a Nominator? The ideal Nominator is …

• Someone you trust and respect—e.g. changemakers leading well-established organizations, government officials, university professors, well-placed CSO staff, etc.
• Well-connected with locally-led, earlier-stage organizations addressing the lack of access to nutritious and affordable food in Sub-Saharan Africa
• Likely interested in nominating 3 organizations for +1 Food Security support

And if you are curious about the guidance that will be shared with your recommended Nominators, please see the +1 Food Security Guidance for Nominators (Round 3).

And, for examples of organizations who were nominated and selected for support in previous Rounds, please see the +1 Food Security Directory.
