Global Leaders Impact Fund – Application form
Fora’s program alumni, across our Global Summit, Rise on Boards, and Rise on Boards+ programs, can now apply for a microgrant from our Global Impact fund and receive $1,000 CAD* per project. This funding aims to support transformative projects that drive positive change in communities while aligning with Fora’s mission. Running a microgrant program offers the opportunity for our alumni to further invest in and scale up their social impact initiatives — because our investment in our alumni’s successes doesn’t stop when their program ends
In addition to receiving the funds, recipients of the Global Impact Fund will have access to workshops designed to support them in advancing their social impact initiatives. These workshops will provide tailored guidance to help maximize the impact of their projects, make the most of the funding, and explore additional opportunities to drive meaningful change in their communities.
Please submit your completed application form by Sunday, January 11, 2026, by 11:59PM EST. Applicants will be notified by email regarding whether they have advanced to the interview stage. (*Please double-check all the application sections and your answers before you click apply.)
All projects funded by the Global Impact Fund are expected to begin in May 2026 and should be completed by November 2026.
*Recipients will receive the $1,000 micro-grant minus global wire transfer fees, with a maximum deduction of $35 CAD
* Note: Global Summit and Rise on Board alumni are welcome to apply, but priority will be given to first-time applicants. Even if you don’t meet all the criteria or have limited experience, you are still encouraged to apply. We believe in the potential of alumni at every stage of their journey and the power of innovative ideas to create meaningful change.
