Across the world, children and young people are losing vital opportunities for play — a cornerstone of healthy development, learning, and social connection. Without safe and inclusive spaces to move, explore, and imagine, communities risk raising a generation without the joy and resilience that play provides.
This challenge invites organisations everywhere to design bold, practical solutions that bring play back into everyday life. Whether through reimagined public spaces, creative activities woven into daily routines, or innovations for early childhood development, the focus is on scalable, community‑based approaches that empower parents, caregivers, and youth themselves.
Youth‑led organisations are especially encouraged to apply, ensuring that the voices of young innovators shape the future of play. Winners will receive financial support, expert guidance, and opportunities to refine and expand their projects globally.
💡 Grants range from USD 50,000 to 100,000 for up to six winning initiatives.
