Ingenuity Fund Challenge

Every day, women around the world living on less than $1 a day combine ingenuity, creativity and hard work to make ends meet.  Now is your chance to show your own ingenuity, and have the chance to win a trip overseas for you and a guest to be a part of Grameen Foundation’s innovative delivery of microfinance and technology services to the world’s poorest.

The Ingenuity Fund Challenge is a way for you to make an impact on ending the cycle of poverty faced by millions around the world by tapping into your own ingenuity and creativity. By joining the Challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to develop the most creative, compelling ways to educate your friends, families and networks about Grameen Foundation.  You’ll be able to set up a personal Ingenuity Fund Challenge page via the links below, where you can post information about why you support Grameen Foundation and where we can track any donations made to the foundation based on your ingenious efforts. 

From November 2009 through February March 2010 (now extended!), Challenge participants will develop compelling, creative personal fundraising pages on Grameen Foundation’s website, and raise awareness of and funds for Grameen Foundation’s work through personal networks, social media and other offline activities. The participant judged to have the most creative, ingenious web page and outreach effort will win the grand prize of an overseas field visit.
