Ignite

We are starting to publicize Ignite, the Ford Family Foundation’s new funding competition for social entrepreneurs with transformative enterprises. Designed to drive positive social change, Ignite is supported by leading UK universities, including Durham. Following a glamorous pitching event at The Shard in October 2024, the overall winner will receive a £20,000 impact accelerator grant to scale up their social enterprise, with a further £30,000 being shared between the other four finalists.
