Benefits and support
Participants receive coaching, peer learning and other non-financial support. The stated value of shared programme support should not be confused with additional cash awarded to each initiative.
Who can apply?
Initiatives should have moved beyond an idea through research, testing, piloting or community engagement. Participation is online in English; group sessions are designed around time zones from UTC−6 to UTC+6. The programme welcomes global perspectives and seeks at least one Swiss initiative.
How to apply
Read the application guide linked from the official competition page, then submit through the platform. Explain the underlying system your work addresses and the evidence that the initiative is ready to develop further.

Preparing a focused application
Start with a short account of what you have already tried. Include what did not work, what you learned and what you would change with support. Describe the people affected by the problem and how they influence your decisions. Avoid presenting every future ambition as an established result. A focused next-stage plan, a clear learning question and a realistic use of the grant will help readers understand your proposal.
Frequently asked question
Is the support entirely cash?
No. The CHF10,000 grant is separate from coaching and other programme support.
