Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF)

Click here to visit the HIF website
The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) is a grant-making fund to support organisations and individuals to identify, nurture and share innovative solutions to the challenges facing operational agencies in the delivery of effective humanitarian aid.

Created through a partnership between ELRHA and ALNAP, the fund supports organisations working in countries struck by humanitarian crises, such as Haiti or Pakistan, to develop, test and share new technologies and processes that will contribute to more effective and cost-efficient humanitarian aid in the future.

The HIF is divided into two grant facilities; a small grants facility for recognition, invention and diffusion of an innovation for projects up to £20,000, and a large grants facility for development and implementation of an innovation for projects up to £150,000.
