About this opportunity

Unearthodox, a Swiss-founded nonprofit working on nature and society, runs the Exploration Co-Lab, an online alternative incubator for early-stage initiatives tackling the root causes of how humanity relates to nature. Each selected innovator receives a CHF 10,000 grant and joins a 10-month cohort from March to December 2027, with coaching, peer learning and tailored support. The call is for work already past the idea stage, whether you are testing, proving, deepening or pivoting.

What you get:

  • A CHF 10,000 grant to move your initiative forward
  • A 10-month online incubation journey with a cohort of changemakers, March to December 2027
  • Access to a shared pool of tailored non-financial support valued at up to an estimated CHF 60,000: peer learning, individual coaching and expert guidance, systems mapping and futures thinking, strategic positioning, and regenerative ways to define and measure success
  • Visibility through Unearthodox's communication channels
  • Connection to a global network of systems innovators, mentors and network weavers

What you'll do:

  • Join regular online group calls, scheduled within UTC-6 to UTC+6, all conducted in English
  • Take part in cohort-based learning, coaching and shared exploration over 10 months
  • Develop and test your initiative with customised support

Key dates:

  • Applications open September 15, 2026
  • Applications close November 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM (GMT+1)
  • Shortlisting November 17 to December 11, 2026

  • Final selection with external jurors January 5 to February 4, 2027
  • Notification and onboarding February 5 to 28, 2027

More information:

  • Full eligibility, evaluation criteria, FAQ and terms are in Unearthodox's Information for Applicants document linked from the call page
  • Questions go to colab@unearthodox.org

Who can apply

  • Working on an early-stage initiative at the intersection of environmental and societal change
  • Past the idea stage: some groundwork already laid, such as initial research and testing, a pilot, or active community engagement. A concept on paper alone is not enough
  • Initiative addresses root causes in humanity's relationship with nature, not surface-level symptoms
  • Not for projects that reinforce extractive systems, prioritise profit, speed or growth over purpose, or seek individual advantage without interest in collective learning
  • All activities are in English; group calls run within UTC-6 to UTC+6

Worth checking yourself

  • !Your initiative must be past the idea stage, with some research, a pilot or community work already done
  • !It must tackle root causes in how people relate to nature; profit-led or extractive projects are not a fit
  • !Group calls run between UTC-6 and UTC+6 and everything is in English, so the hours are awkward in much of Asia, the Pacific and the western Americas
  • !Not a youth programme: you compete with changemakers of any age
  • !Closes Monday 16 November at 23:59 Central European Time, which is an hour ahead of UK time
