Our impact partners

Overview

The President’s Challenge has traditionally been supported by individuals and organisations who contribute through donations, fundraising, and by giving their time and skills to causes they believe in.

Now, we’re expanding how we partner for impact.

Our refreshed partnership model invites like-minded organisations including philanthropic foundations and government agencies – to go further with us. These partners bring depth of expertise, wide networks, and resources to co-lead initiatives aligned with our values and goals.

Whether it’s nurturing talent in the arts and sports, or advancing upstream solutions for communities in need — our impact partners help turn ideas into meaningful action.

Partnering with purpose

Under this model, President’s Challenge will:

• Co-fund selected programmes with our partners

• Endorse high-impact initiatives aligned with our mission

• Facilitate networks and collaborations across sectors

• Support grant-making through our shared commitment to strong governance and the social good
