Name of the Event: Refugee-led Innovation Fund
Last Date of Application: 22 August 2025
Link to Apply:
The Refugee-led Innovation Fund champions the creativity of all displaced and stateless people. It aims to reshape their participation in the delivery of humanitarian work by ensuring they take centre stage in the decisions affecting their lives, leading the identification of needs and the design of innovative solutions.
Who is eligible to apply?
Only organizations led by people with lived experience of forced displacement or statelessness are eligible to apply. This includes groups led by refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, and stateless people. It is important to note that an organization is defined as a group of individuals working together toward shared goals, rather than an individual applicant.
Financial support:
Organizations can apply for up to 45,000 USD (equivalent in local currency) in funding to test and implement ideas with strong community-based approaches that generate value for community members, not specifically linked to any thematic area or technology.
