Goblis Foundation General Fund
Core institutional capacity, governance, people, systems and unrestricted Foundation priorities.
Goblis Foundation Funds
Seven governed funding homes. Six standing public campaigns.
Every fund has its own accounting identity and purpose. Six funds have standing public campaigns; Opportunity & Matching Fund is activated only around an approved matching opportunity. A fund does not automatically mean a separate bank account.

What we do, in plain language.
You are supporting Goblis Foundation, a Kenya-based non-profit foundation. Goblis runs two distinct programmes and uses specialist partners where another institution owns the relevant expertise.
01JikimuSocial entrepreneurship support: access, responsible handoff to learning and enterprise development, and later outcome follow-up.02MashinaniRural development support: diagnose a local challenge or opportunity, connect the right actors, then measure what changes.03AfriTrace LinkCross-cutting platform for traceability, evidence and market access. It supports the programmes; it is not itself a programme.04How Goblis worksGoblis coordinates relationships, safeguards accountability and follows evidence. Specialist partners remain responsible for the services they own.
Flagship fund architecture
Choose the purpose you want to strengthen.

Jikimu Fund
Social entrepreneurship, entrepreneur capability, enterprise support, market readiness and inclusion.

Platform development, adoption, rural market access, interoperability, research/MERM and responsible expansion.

Discuss a matching structure →How a donor-created fund works
A named fund can sit beneath the appropriate flagship fund.
A donor may propose a thematic, geographic, programme or donor-defined fund. Goblis first assesses fit and due diligence, agrees purpose/restrictions/governance/reporting, executes the governing agreement, then creates the authoritative fund record. Payment is not requested merely because a proposal was submitted.
Propose
Define purpose, geography, people, amount/period and intended restrictions.
Review & due diligence
Confirm fit, authority, risk, safeguarding, privacy and proportionate source-of-funds controls.
Agreement
Set budget, decision rights, reporting, recognition, data/IP and close-out terms.
Activate & account
Create the governed ledger and determine whether dedicated banking is required.
Banking discipline
Separate banking is evidence-driven, not automatic.
Goblis can operate dedicated accounts for material or donor-mandated funds while maintaining other restricted funds within controlled programme accounts. Every transaction is mapped from bank/account to fund, agreement, budget line and evidence.
Review donor assuranceInstitutional relationships
Supporting Ubunifu does not merge institutions.
The Ubunifu Access & Innovation Fund is a Goblis-administered restricted funding route for agreed Ubunifu activities. Ubunifu remains a separate institution with its own governance, contracts and records.
