- Partner ($25,000+): foundations, donors, and developing market-based private sector companies

Local Partners
Organisations that operate and are focused in only one country.
- Local private sector companies ($2,500+)

In-Kind Contributions
All members are encouraged to contribute in-kind donations in four crucial areas, which would be potentially budget-relieving and would enable the Alliance to balance its budget:
- Office costs – office space, internet access, office supplies, printing
- Equipment – laptops, phones, software licenses
- Communications – website support, social media, marketing, publications, promotional materials, editing, translation services
- Venue support – providing free or low-cost venues for A4AI meetings and events, catering, event support staff
