Konecta Foundation has announced the 25 winning projects of the 2026 edition of the Community Impact Call, its international initiative designed to support high impact social projects focused on employability, inclusion, sustainability, digital inclusion and community development.

Originally launched in 2009, the initiative has progressively evolved into an international platform connecting social organizations, companies and local ecosystems around scalable social impact. This year’s edition confirms the growing international reach of the program, with projects selected across Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

With a total funding envelope of €130,000, the Community Impact Call will support 25 projects led by NGOs and social organizations working on some of today’s most pressing social and economic challenges, including access to employment, AI and digital literacy, disability inclusion, women empowerment, healthcare support and youth development.

Several winning initiatives focus on employability and future ready skills for vulnerable communities. These include projects led by Anudip Foundation for Social Welfare (India), Rubikon Centrum (Czech Republic), AMH (Morocco), Association Bayti (Morocco), Fundación Córdoba Mejora (Argentina), Asociación Kantaya (Peru), Asociación Somos Capazes (Colombia), Grupo Mulheres do Brasil (Brazil), RIGHT Association (Romania), Una Casa per l’Uomo (Italy) and ASTI Talent and Technology Foundation (Spain).

Beyond financial support, the Community Impact Call aims to create a broader ecosystem of collaboration where NGOs, companies, partners and communities can work together to amplify impact over time.

This collaborative model reflects Konecta Foundation’s broader approach to social impact: supporting initiatives capable of combining local relevance, innovation and long term sustainability while creating stronger bridges between social organizations and the private sector.
