Generation Regen Challenge 2027

About this opportunity

The Generation Regen Challenge 2027 is a grant programme run by One Young World and presented by Founding Partner BMO. It will award $200,000 to organisations accelerating regenerative agriculture innovation across Canada and the United States. The Challenge was announced at the One Young World Summit in Cape Town. Applicants must be aged 18 to 35 and lead a registered Canadian or US non-profit, charity, social enterprise or purpose-focused start-up. The organisation must have been registered for at least one year by Nov 5, 2026, and must have an operational bank account able to receive grants. Audited financial statements are required. The project must be based in and focused on Canada and/or the US. Grants of $60,000 and $20,000 support projects in Canada and the US. Successful awardees are paired with 2026 Challenge recipients for peer mentorship and receive lifelong membership of the One Young World Ambassador Community. A separate $15,000 Innovator Prize is open to a South African young leader working in this space, with applications opening later. Applications for the Canada and US grants are open now.
