The challenge has been designed to explore the ways in which technology can increase individual philanthropy toward NGOs and CSOs in Nigeria. Do you have an innovative idea to increase the funds raised for good causes in Nigeria? Apply for the Giving4Good challenge
CcHUB is running the Giving4Good challenge which will explore the ways CSO’s and NGO’s use technology to raise funds from individuals and donor organisations in both local and international/diaspora communities. The challenge will engage eligible young and talented people across Nigeria to submit novel and existing ideas to solve the problems around individual philanthropy in the Country. They will encourage applicants to propose innovative ideas that solve the fundamental problems around individual philanthropy in the country.
The Challenge
The challenge is centered around the following problem statements:
- How might we increase the transparency of NGO’s and CSO’s reporting, to gain trust and encourage more individual donations in Nigeria?
- How might we effectively communicate the emotional appeal of causes supported by NGOs and CSOs, in order to trigger more individual philanthropy in Nigeria?
Benefits
- The top 3 ventures will get combined funding of up to £35,000
- They will be supported by the CcHUB pre-incubation program which will be focused on product development, distribution and business modelling to implement in late 2018
- Over the subsequent six months, the top three ideas will be supported with a range of services focused on product development, distribution and business modelling to turn their ideas into fully working products to launch in late 2018.
