€100,000 iF Social Impact Prize

The iF Social Impact Prize is a global grant program run by iF Design that gives out a total of €100,000 each year to real-world projects using design to tackle social, environmental, or economic problems. If your organization, NGO, or social enterprise has a project already up and running that connects to design and addresses at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal, you can apply. The prize is not for student concepts or theoretical ideas — it's for initiatives that are already implemented or actively in progress. Selected projects split the €100,000 fund, get featured on the iF Design website, gain exposure to a global design and media audience, and receive an official winner certificate. Projects can be submitted a maximum of two times. The eligible focus areas are broad, covering everything from poverty and hunger to climate action, gender equality, clean energy, and sustainable cities. If your work sits at the intersection of design and social impact and you want both funding and international visibility, this is worth a look.
