What we fund.
We seek out innovations with the greatest potential to improve the lives of millions of people living in poverty.
The Global Innovation Fund finds and funds innovations with the greatest potential to transform the lives of people living on less than $5 a day. Since 2014, we have proudly backed a diverse portfolio of innovations tackling a range of development challenges. We use our funding to support innovators to prove out the impact of their solution and achieve greater scale.
At GIF, we believe that innovation can come from anyone, anywhere, and we especially encourage applications from developing countries themselves. Any type of organisation may apply. This includes social enterprises, for-profit companies, non-profit organisations, government agencies, and research institutions in any country. Individual innovators, entrepreneurs or researchers must apply through an affiliated organisation.
