About this program

The Social Shifters Global Innovation Challenge 2026 provides grant funding awards of up to $15,000 USD to youth-led (ages 18–30) startups and projects already delivering measurable social or environmental impact aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to grant funding, participants receive free learning resources, access to a global community of young social leaders, and ongoing opportunities including fellowships, paid work, and networking. The competition runs through late 2026, culminating in finalist pitching and grant winner announcements in December.
