Saint-Gobain Grants Program 2024-25

Timeline:

Launch: 21st August 2024

Deadline: 24th November 2024

Overview

Do you have an idea that can bring about meaningful change and positively impact the built or unbuilt environment around you? Do you have an idea that addresses the need of the hour that is practical and implementable? If your concept can drive economic growth, foster innovation and unite communities, or if it’s an idea for a scalable startup that meets the current or future needs within the ACED fields, the Saint-Gobain Grants Program is the perfect platform to bring your vision to life! We welcome creative concepts that lead to solutions to identified problems or responses to needs. The solution or response could be a service, product, new material, digital application, documentation of traditional crafts, post-pandemic design considerations, research, exhibition or initiatives that promote cultural preservation. Whether the impact is local, regional, urban or global, whether the intervention is focussed on CBDs, villages or natural environments, share your vision and if selected we will support you to develop it.

Winners will receive a grant of Rs 1 Lakh to execute their proposed idea and make a difference. Join us in creating a path toward inclusivity, accessibility, and sustainability on a grand scale, and together, let’s shape a better world.
