活动 | 7.16 参与哥大赋能，推动社会创新：Incite Global Change Program在线宣讲会

This virtual session, co-presented by the Incite Institute at Columbia University in collaboration with the Columbia Global Center Beijing, will introduce an exciting funding opportunity of $10,000 to $25,000 USD grants to leaders of initiatives that engage communities to address some of the world's most pressing issues. In addition to funding, grantees receive intellectual support from Incite and other centers at Columbia University.

We invite you to explore further and consider applying if it aligns with your interest! 

Founded in 2023, the Global Change Program is a grant initiative designed to support individuals around the world who are leading projects or campaigns that further the mission of producing knowledge for public action by placing assembly to make societies more just and equitable.

Communities around the world are confronting critical challenges in a number of areas, including climate change, education access, interstate conflict, public health crises, and data transparency. Incite's Global Change Program supports activists, scholars, organizers, artists, and others working with communities most directly challenged by such issues. GCP supports leaders working within these communities to lead initiatives that bring innovative, knowledge-based solutions—derived from academic research and/or from personal or community experience—to a specific challenge.

GCP awardees receive financial assistance from $10,000 to $25,000, along with intellectual support, including help with project design and with collaborating with a Columbia center or institute of their preference. We commit to amplifying GCP projects through its own network of scholars, researchers, and activists.

In 2023, the GCP pilot grant supported Allison Benson-Hernandez of Re-Imagenemos, an organization fostering the country's first national-level discussion of inequality through a series of community conversations across Colombia. Through these discussions, hundreds of people from different social backgrounds and professional perspectives will work together to build an agenda of community-led initiatives on inequality.
