ACT Grants
Индия
Добавлен 7 апр 2020
ACT is a non-profit venture philanthropy platform that was born in 2020 in response to the COVID crisis and is built upon the premise that collective action has the power to achieve social impact at scale.
We are driven by the desire to catalyse social change through a bias for action and collaboration across the board - startup founders, donors, NGO’s, expert advisors, government stakeholders as well as the public at large.
Our grants are given as seed capital to incubate and accelerate innovations that have demonstrated ability to address identified social need gaps at scale. In addition to providing funding, we work with our grantees on their strategy as well as operations and help them harness the strength of our collective to make sure they have access to the best-in-class mentorship the industry has to offer.

Is it only designed for young indian professional or it is open to all young professionals across the world ?
International candidates can apply as long as they're able & willing to relocate to India for 9 months (starting September 2022) and commit their time entirely to the Fellowship; if selected. Because though ACT works remotely, the program requires a certain amount of local travel for field research, key stakeholder meetings etc. which cannot be done virtually. While ACT will be unable to cover relocation expenses for selected international candidates, each ACT Fellow will receive a monthly stipend of INR 50,000 + travel reimbursement for domestic travel undertaken during the course of the program.
How to join?
joined, what is next! I am open.
