The Million Lives Collective (MLC) has launched a Call for African Urban Innovations to identify and spotlight impactful, scale‑ready solutions that are shaping smart, healthy, equitable and resilient cities across Sub‑Saharan Africa. The call targets innovators, entrepreneurs and changemakers whose solutions address pressing urban challenges for low‑income residents and have a credible pathway to reach one million or more urban Africans living on less than USD 5.50 per day.

The Orange Corners Innovation Fund (OCIF) GROW Programme 2026 is an influential initiative designed to unlock the growth potential of South Africa’s most innovative youth-owned businesses. With a unique blend of grant and interest-free loan funding, the programme not only addresses the deep-rooted challenge of access to catalytic finance for young entrepreneurs but also ensures that recipients are investment-ready through robust capacity building.

The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund is a major philanthropic initiative supporting grassroots organizations advancing access to quality K–12 education and sports for children in underserved communities worldwide.

The Fund supports two kinds of applications: general operating support or program/project-specific support.
