Founded in 2017 alongside the opening of Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, American Friends of Zeitz MOCAA (AFOZM) advances contemporary African and African diaspora art and artists worldwide.
​
Nearly 90% of every dollar raised goes directly to support Zeitz MOCAA’s exhibitions, artist commissions, and fellowships as well as curator grants—fueling creativity, access, and cross border dialogue. In 2024 alone, AFOZM awarded over $2.6 million in grants to critical museum programs.
