Consider sponsoring a stipend for a changemaker you know personally or for a changemaker you don’t know yet who is in need of a stipend.
BY SPONSORING A STIPEND FOR A PARTICIPANT IN THE VISIONARY PROGRAM, YOU:
- strengthen their agency and motivation to be a changemaker,
- boost their capacity to improve systems – within and beyond their organization,
- weave them into a community of changemakers across sectors, countries and causes.

“Visionary Program has been the best professional development opportunity I’ve had in my entire career. The content, the people, the facilitation – all at the highest level”.

“Thanks to the program I began to transform my role at the ministry – despite all the limitations that public sector implies. I introduced non-hierarchical management and the topic of systems change to our team. Now we have a highly motivated team and, I dare to say, we use public money more effectively to support social innovation and cultivate multistakeholder collaboration in Czechia.”

“The National Foundation supports stipends for changemakers because it sees the Visionary Program as a valuable opportunity for learning, exchange, and capacity strengthening in the fields of social innovation and the social and solidarity economy. So far, the program has provided important insights into new approaches to supporting changemakers, while also highlighting the value of peer exchange, cross-sector learning, and collaboration in achieving meaningful social impact.”
