Other Foundation
"The Other Foundation (tOF) is essentially an LGBTI community foundation for Southern Africa. We are registered as an African trust dedicated to advancing human rights in Southern Africa, with a particular focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people. The Other Foundation aims to contribute to a self-sustaining human rights movement in Southern Africa, in which people actively defend each other’s rights." [1]
"In February 2012, Inyathelo – The South African Institute for Advancement was contracted to appoint a board for the Other Foundation (tOF) on behalf of the Atlantic Philanthropies to ensure transparency and avoid potential conflicts of interest. A public call for nominations was made through newspaper advertisements and a range of human rights websites. Subsequently, 140 nominations were received and reviewed. Shortlisted candidates were then interviewed by a panel drawn together by Inyathelo. A six-member founding Board was appointed out of that process."[2]
