TRANSFORMING IDEAS INTO IMPACT
The Global Innovation Fund invests in social innovations that aim to improve the lives and opportunities of millions of people in the developing world.Through our grants and risk capital, we support breakthrough solutions to global development challenges from social enterprises, for-profit firms, non-profit organisations, researchers, and government agencies.
GIF invests in a wide range of solutions with the shared goal of opening up better opportunities for people living in poverty in developing countries.
We believe that the best ideas for solving some of the world’s most critical problems can come from anyone, anywhere.
GIF welcomes applicants to propose innovative, cost-effective solutions that address any major development challenge in any country (or in multiple countries) in the developing world.
Anyone may apply, including individuals, non-profit organisations, for-profit companies, governments, and universities in any country.
We look for innovative solutions to global development challenges with the potential for substantially greater impact than existing approaches, especially for poor and vulnerable groups. We identify cost-effective innovations that can achieve better results than competing alternatives and that have clear metrics for judging success.
GIF supports teams from social enterprises, for-profit firms, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and researchers across all relevant sectors and doing work based in any eligible country in the developing world.
