The Luminary Project (TLP) finds, strengthens, amplifies and funds African changemakers doing real social-impact work. We invest in making organisations stronger, more accountable and more fundable. We support changemakers whose initiatives are rooted in these Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 1 (No Poverty), 3 (Good Health & Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth), 9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure) and 13 (Climate Action). Impact Fund I is a grant of up to ₦1,000,000 per selected NGO. It is earned through a six-week incubation fellowship; you can receive up to the full ₦1,000,000 by completing the programme and submitting a strong Capstone project. Funding is milestone-based — released in stages, not all at once. Later payments can increase materially when your organisation demonstrates strong delivery, responsible use of funds, accurate reporting and verified performance. Beyond the grant, you gain practical capacity-building, tools to run your organisation better, and a place in the Luminary community. Qualification criteria To be considered, your organisation must: 1. Have a Founder, Executive Director or equivalent senior leader who will personally participate. 2. Commit to the full six-week programme, including the required assessments, Capstone and clinics. 3. Commit to using the provided tools for the learning programme. 4. Be signed up on LegitGood — this is required to apply. 5. Be working on initiatives rooted in one or more of our focus SDGs (listed above).
