FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund (Cycle 2)

About

What an incredible opportunity to transform the lives of children through the power of education and sport! The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund is back for Cycle 2, and it is a call to action for grassroots organizations that are on the front lines of social change. This initiative is born from a powerful partnership between FIFA and Global Citizen, aiming to bridge the gap in educational access for children in underserved communities across the globe. By integrating the universal appeal of football with essential learning resources, this fund provides the fuel needed for local projects to thrive and scale.

This isn't just a financial award; it is a movement to ensure every child has the right to learn, play, and dream. Whether your organization focuses on classroom resources, athletic programs that foster leadership, or community-based learning initiatives, this grant is designed to empower those who understand their local needs best. With grants reaching up to $250,000 USD, this funding can be the catalyst that takes your local impact to an entirely new level. If you are a community leader or part of a dedicated grassroots team, this is your moment to shine and secure the resources your community deserves!
