We aim to make the application process as quick and easy as possible.
If applying to start a proven idea in your community, you will complete an application form including details such as the address of your project, and your motivation for starting the project. After ensuring you meet the eligibility criteria of the fund, you will be connected with the social innovator behind the proven idea to discuss the project as part of the evaluation of your application.
If applying with your own project, you will be asked to share a project description, its potential impact, and scope, along with some other details in an application form.
All applications will then be reviewed in the context of the fund criteria and other applications. If your application is allocated funding, you will then have to complete a few very simple steps within 30 days.
If your application is approved, funding will be divided into two payments. The first payment is unlocked upon successful completion of the 30 Day Challenge. The second payment will be unlocked after you have completed a brief impact survey and shared a project summary and photos that demonstrate the outcome of your project.
All information that you share about the progress and impact of your project will be shared with our funding partners.

Your organisation must have a bank account to receive funding from ChangeX. Once you’ve successfully completed the required steps within 30 days, you can enter the bank details of your organisation on the ChangeX website to facilitate the bank transfer. ChangeX will then review your application to make sure all elements have been completed successfully before making the payment transfer to your account.
The amount of funding available for your project depends on the idea you choose or the needs of your project. The maximum amount of funding available per project is stated in the green box above.
Eligible organisations can apply for and receive funding for up to three different projects at a time, as long as each application and the resulting project is submitted and led by a different member of the organisation's team. If multiple projects will take place at the same location, they must be different.
