Summary
A new August funding roundup added 138 opportunities, bringing the tracked total to 494 worldwide for non-profits, social enterprises and other purpose-driven groups.
Seven sections organize the new calls, led by Education, Human Rights & Inclusion with 36 additions, Agriculture, Climate, Environment, Energy & Food with 25, and both Global Health & WASH and Innovation, Research & Smart Cities with 24 each.
The roundup says funders are increasingly replacing one-off grants with performance-linked, blended, revolving and cascade finance, citing examples from Kenya Climate Ventures, Convergence, the EU and the Fund for Innovation in Development.
It also highlights two cross-sector shifts: sport and physical activity are being funded as health interventions, and climate goals are increasingly embedded inside health, gender and urban programs rather than separated into standalone climate budgets.
Featured calls range from Nexa climate-health grants of $250,000 to $2 million and adidas Foundation’s €6 million sport-recovery program to UNICEF, Gates Foundation and ADB opportunities, underscoring a broad tilt toward scalable, outcome-driven funding.
