African Diaspora Network is a nonprofit organization focused on harnessing and mobilizing the intellectual, financial, philanthropic, and entrepreneurial capacities of Africans and friends of Africa to support economic and social development across the continent. Based in Santa Clara, California, the network operates as a 501(c)(3) membership organization that offers virtual and physical forums to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to resources and investment opportunities for the African diaspora and its partners. Its work targets diasporans, African communities, and allied stakeholders seeking to strengthen ties, advance development initiatives, and foster cross‑border partnerships. Since its founding in 2010, ADN has positioned itself within the nonprofit sector by connecting Silicon Valley actors with African development aims and by engaging in partnerships and events that amplify diaspora contributions. Recent activity includes collaborations and participation in forums and initiatives that expand its network and extend its impact in areas such as investment, infrastructure, health, science and technology, and policy dialogue without detailing specific financial metrics.
