The Grants for Good and Grants for Change programmes give people in the financial services sector the chance to raise money for certain initiatives or projects on behalf of a nonprofit they support.
Financial professionals can assist in bridging financing shortfalls by supporting new initiatives or upgrading existing programmes by applying for these grant opportunities.

eligibility requirements
- Anyone who is employed within the financial services industry is qualified to submit an application on behalf of a nonprofit. Employees of asset managers, broker-dealers, clearing houses, custodians, fintech companies, trade associations, insurance firms, TAMPS, wirehouses, and other organisations are also included in this.
- Previous grant recipients, IiO Award winners, and finalists include: An adviser cannot submit a grant application for the same charity if they have previously been awarded a grant or recognised as a finalist or winner of the IiO Awards within the previous five years. Only another charity in which they are actively engaged may they submit an application. Honourable Mentions for the Invest in Others Awards are still eligible to apply with the same charity.
- Candidates must be currently serving as volunteers for the nonprofit organisation.
- One organisation may only be represented by one applicant when submitting an application. If you support more than one, kindly select the charity that best satisfies the requirements. No more than one application will be considered.
- The nonprofit must be a 501(c)(3) organisation or educational institution that is based in the United States and has been given tax-exempt status. Nonprofit organisations based in the United States that focus on helping people outside of the country are ineligible for this programme.
