Are you driven to make a real difference in your community or beyond? The Sanober Ignite Fellowship provide ambitious changemakers like you with the funding, mentorship, and support needed to transform bold ideas into real impact. Whether your passion lies in social justice, community development, or innovative sustainable solutions, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life.
At Sanober Foundation, we recognize that the most powerful movements often start with a single idea, fueled by passion and guided by purpose. Our Fellowship is designed not just to fund projects, but to nurture leaders—those who are unafraid to challenge the status quo, address deep-rooted social problems, and reimagine what's possible for their communities.
What sets us apart is our holistic approach. We don’t just write a check and step away. We invest in you. As a Sanober Fellow, you’ll receive dedicated mentorship that will help guide your journey, from brainstorming and planning to execution and evaluation. You’ll become part of a supportive network of changemakers—sharing ideas, facing challenges together, and growing alongside one another.
We welcome applications from young adults aged 16 to 26 who are passionate about creating positive change in their communities. Whether you’re a student, grassroots organizer, artist, or aspiring entrepreneur, if you have a bold idea that addresses a social or environmental issue, we want to hear from you.
You do not need to be an expert, have prior experience, or be affiliated with an organization. What matters most is your commitment, clarity of vision, and drive to make a difference. Projects can be at any stage—whether it’s an early idea or a pilot already in motion.
Empower Change, Build Connections, and Make a Lasting Impact.
As a Sanober Foundation Fellow, you’re not just receiving funding — you’re joining a community of ambitious changemakers committed to driving meaningful change. Here’s what you can expect:
