Help Keep the Impact Alive — Support Our Crowdfunding Campaign!

At Impact Week, we know one thing for sure: real change starts small. With a spark. A first step. An idea that dares to grow.

Over the past 10 years, we have witnessed how these ideas ignite powerful movements. Like the student in Kenya who built a portable laboratory in order to spare sick people from rural areas a tiresome and dangerous trip to the hospital and instead enable the doctor to do house visits, including analysis and treatments. Or the founder in Ghana empowering women through menstrual health education and local job creation.

These aren’t just stories, they’re proof! Proof that when young innovators get the right tools, they create solutions that matter.

And now, we need your help to make sure these stories don’t stop here.

Why We’re Launching This Campaign

The world has changed. Economic challenges and declining support for grassroots innovation have made it harder than ever for initiatives like ours to survive or even grow.

But we’re not ready to slow down. That’s why we’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to power the next chapter of Impact Week. With your support, we can:

With your support, we can:

• Fund entrepreneurial training programs, such as the Impact Ignition Program where participants learn how to turn ideas into real projects
• Train more local coaches who share their knowledge within their communities
• Hire additional help from the Global South to support the core team in the global Impact Week activities
• Support our platform: a digital home for our community, connecting start-ups, mentors, and supporters worldwide through long-term operation, storytelling, and network maintenance

Your donation goes directly into action-fueling programs, supporting community, and amplifying impact.

What you’ll get for backing and participating

To show gratitude for the support of our campaign we have created meaningful rewards for you. Here are several examples of the gifts we’re offering:

• A heartfelt thank‑you + personalized Impact Week postcard: We’ll send you a handwritten postcard to show our appreciation, and this also includes a 10% discount code for our Impact Week shop.
• Branded Impact Week merchandise (stickers, tote bag, tee) as a physical token of your commitment.
• Special access or mention in our community platform as a “Changemaker Supporter”.
• Early entry or invitation to new programmes, events or digital sessions with our alumni and coaches.
