If your projects prioritize environmental sustainability, social well-being, and robust governance practices, then you should consider applying for the Changemakers Innovation Challenge.

The Changemakers Innovation Challenge, initiated by ACT Foundation, aims to recognize the impactful work of community nonprofits, businesses, and social enterprises in Africa. These organizations leverage technology and digital tools to drive social change in their communities. Research demonstrates that nonprofits utilizing technology and digital tools for community development are making a lasting impact and gaining prominence.

Through the challenge, grant funding will be awarded to three winners to scale their innovative solutions across different communities.

The key focus areas of the ACT Foundation include Health, Entrepreneurship, Environment, and Leadership. In the Health domain, the foundation supports initiatives that enhance healthcare services for vulnerable and marginalized groups, with a focus on areas such as Malaria, Cancer, and Maternal & Child Health. For Entrepreneurship, ACT Foundation promotes economic empowerment through initiatives that enhance vocational education, skills acquisition, financial literacy, and financial inclusion. In the Environment sector, the foundation emphasizes environmental protection, waste management, tree planting, and recycling to ensure sustainability for future generations. Lastly, in the Leadership realm, ACT Foundation supports programs that develop leadership skills, particularly among young people and women, with a focus on good governance, economic development, and organizational and professional growth.

If your organization aligns with these areas of focus, the Changemakers Innovation Challenge can provide funding and capacity building support for your sustainable initiatives.
