Heirs Holdings in partnership with Africa No Filter, a donor collaborative working to transform stereotypical narratives of Africa, has launched the $30,000 Tony Elumelu Storytellers Fund.

The $30,000 Fund which is sponsored by Heirs Insurance and Heirs Life Assurance, the insurance subsidiaries of Heirs Holdings, will award grants to emerging artists and storytellers, whose work shines a light on entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in Africa.

Chairman of Heirs Holdings and Founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, Tony Elumelu, has led the championing of entrepreneurship in Africa and has empowered over 15,000 young African entrepreneurs across the continent through a $100 million commitment.

The Tony Elumelu Storytellers Fund is a standalone initiative and an extension of his commitment to catalysing a redefined African success story, powered by Africa’s youth and their creative ideas.

The Fund is open to journalists, filmmakers, content producers, and visual and performing artists that tell the stories of inspiring entrepreneurs and showcase the true and positive spirit of entrepreneurship in Africa. Applicants must be aged between 18 and 35 years, living on the continent or in the Diaspora.  They must have a platform or portfolio of work that shines the light on entrepreneurship in Africa.

Speaking on the Fund,  Elumelu said “I have always believed in the potential of young African entrepreneurs to transform Africa. This initiative aligns with our belief and extends the work that we do at the Tony Elumelu Foundation.  Empowering young creative entrepreneurs and the creative sector provides a channel for us to project Africa’s positives globally.  We need their voices to tell our often less-told stories of triumph, resilience, hard work and innovation.”

As frontrunners of digital innovation in the insurance space, Heirs Insurance and Heirs Life both recognise the important role the creative sector plays in transforming Africa’s narrative.
