iF Social Impact Prize 2026

The iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE – aims to support projects that contribute to our society. The most effective and sustainable projects will be supported with a total of EUR 100,000 each year.

The size of the project does not really matter but the idea, the relevance of the problem, the target groups and the sustainable impact. It should either use design principles in the creation process (i.e. design thinking), design should be part of the DNA of the project (i.e. foster design and creation talent) or the project puts focus on the design of projects elements (i.e. the design of the promotion campaign or project materials).
