In an era where digital transformation has accelerated post-pandemic adoption of everything from telemedicine in rural areas to remote learning platforms, we need evidence-based research and access to policymakers that enables social enterprises to drive real, scalable change.
£150,000 Impact Acceleration Grants
100x Impact Accelerator aims to support up to 20 social ventures annually, with 70% coming from emerging markets, recognizing that the most innovative solutions often emerge from contexts of greatest need. For example, AI-powered educational platforms in Southeast Asia to healthcare innovations serving tea-tribes in Assam and tribal villages in Jharkhand.
Winning applicants will receive £150,000 in catalytic capital during a 12-week Impact Accelerator programme.
Both for-profit and non-profit social ventures with proven impact models seeking to scale are eligible. Social ventures working with underserved communities in emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa are especially encouraged to apply.
