Moonshot Awards 2026

About this opportunity

Welcome changemaker! You’re in the right place. Moonshot Platform is the holistic accelerator for the next generation of changemakers. We want to help you increase your impact, while becoming the kind of leader that the world needs. The Moonshot Awards recognize exceptional changemakers between the ages of 15 and 30 who are developing bold solutions to the world's most urgent challenges. Each year, we award up to $100,000 USD in equity-free grants to back the founders, scientists, artists, and advocates who are daring to build what the world doesn't yet believe is possible. Winners across 8 categories (Start-up, Non-profit, Idea, Art for Humanity, AI for Good, Borderless, Health and Learning) receive equity-free grant funding and global recognition at the Moonshot Awards ceremony. Three winners will be fully sponsored to attend the Moonshot Awards Ceremony in New York, and all winners will be recognized. All winners are fully sponsored to participate in the Moonshot two-year leaders
