About The Makanda Foundation

Videos are typically long-form, run 8 to 20 minutes, and appear about three times a month. Each description carries donation details for the foundation, and follow-up videos track how featured people are doing.

Brands with a social-impact message, particularly nonprofits and East African consumer companies, are the natural fit. The rate is estimated at $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, which sits in a similar range to paid-ad CPM of $10 to $30 but is delivered as trusted editorial content.
