Impact Funds – The Luminary Awards

Driving Impact Where It’s Needed Most

Our impact funds are dedicated to empowering changemakers who tackle critical challenges in their communities. By providing essential financial resources, we help scale initiatives that truly transform lives.

We offer three distinct categories of Impact Funds to support changemakers aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that community-driven solutions receive the financial backing they need to flourish.

Impact Fund I

Reserved for the standout Changemaker recognized during the annual Luminary Awards. Quarterly disbursement of this fund is based on the responsible use of previous funds, supported by transparent documentation. For the 2024/2025 cycle, we are increasing this fund from 1 million Naira to 5 million Naira for our top Changemaker.

Impact Fund II

Funding is also available for the top 19 changemakers, ensuring that their exceptional contributions to social change are recognized and encouraged.

Impact Fund III

This fund rewards changemakers who demonstrate outstanding performance at our quarterly pitch challenges. It is accessible to changemakers outside our current cohort, broadening the reach of our support.
