THE PEACE and Equity Foundation (PEF) launched the Knowledge and Innovation Challenge for Change (KICK) to uncover real-world solutions and forward-looking ideas that inspire learning, replication, and action.
The KICK is a national competition open to Philippine-based registered organizations with innovative solutions to social challenges. It has two tracks: the Proven track, for real-world, implemented solutions demonstrating measurable impact with potential for scale and replication, and the Emerging track, for early-stage concepts, prototypes, or innovative ideas with clear potential for social impact, ready to be developed and tested on the ground.
The themes for KICK are based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including social entrepreneurship, youth-led initiatives, resilience, sustainability, and climate solutions.
Winners will receive up to ₱2,500,000 to bring their testing, scaling, or replication plans to life. They will also be featured in high-quality print and video stories shared across KICK’s platforms and will gain exclusive access to key funders, development networks, and industry leaders through KICK-organized events, showcases, and referrals.
The deadline for the application is June 15, 2026. The KICK winners will be announced at the PEF 25th-anniversary culminating event in November 2026.
