Selected organizations will receive financial support of up to USD 20,000 to help expand and strengthen their projects. This funding is intended to support activities that increase the reach, sustainability, and long-term impact of the initiative. 

In addition to the grant, participants will take part in a year-long capacity-building programme that includes workshops, masterclasses, tailored mentoring, and expert guidance from professionals associated with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, BMW Group, and Accenture. These activities are designed to strengthen organizational strategies, leadership capacity, and project scalability. 

Selected organizations will also gain access to a global network of changemakers and social innovators, giving them opportunities to collaborate internationally, participate in global events, and increase the visibility of their initiatives on the world stage.

Eligible applicants must be registered non-profit organizations that are actively implementing projects aimed at promoting intercultural dialogue and building inclusive societies. These organizations may include non-governmental organizations, charitable organizations, educational or research institutions, foundations, faith-based organizations, professional associations, labor unions, indigenous organizations, or local government branches. The opportunity is open to organizations from all regions of the world, meaning applicants from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania can apply. 

Applicants must demonstrate that their organization has been operational for at least two years and has a proven track record of implementing social impact initiatives. The project submitted should already be in operation and must focus on advancing intercultural understanding, combating hate speech or extremism, promoting gender equality, supporting marginalized communities, or using tools such as sports, arts, culture, or technology to encourage social inclusion. Projects that are only one-time events such as conferences or festivals are not eligible.

The Intercultural Innovation Hub 2026 is a global opportunity that accepts applications from all countries around the world.
