Autism Ekasi is a Non-Profit organization committed to educating and assisting families with Autistic children. Autism affects children of every race, ethnic group and socioeconomic status. Our children are frequently confronted with late diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Autism Support is important to the development of children. Our goal is to help the families to identify the red flags of autism early. Our people lack resources, and the available facilities are too expensive for these families. Children are hidden from society because of the stigma attached, especially our black communities. We are faced with requests from mothers who cannot even afford to get transport to have their children diagnosed. We hope our centre will be in a position to afford these parents assistance and work together with social workers. Our dream is to create a place where support is available, and parents are able to share their challenges. A place where we could all just be ourselves without having to explain why we are the way we are. This brings me to forming a Network (Network for Autism), here parents are able to register and be part of forming a mapping which will ease the stress of "what happens now". Many parents are not sure where and what to do when faced with challenges. That is why we have so many children being hidden away from society because of the stigma and discrimination they face. What can we do to improve the lives of the lives of our "ANGELS"?

Impact Hub Budapest, a coworking space intended to support dreamers and entrepreneurs in their efforts to find solutions for critical global issues since 2016. But the founders also wanted to build a philanthropic arm of the business in order to ensure that the needs of their community and Hungary at large. Since 2017, our NGO, the Foundation for Sustainable Enterprises (Fenntarthato Vallalkozasokert Alapitvany or FVA), has been actively providing opportunities for the underserved and underprivileged people of Hungary, including projects targeting youth (i.e. SIA award for social innovators ages 14 to 30) and women (i.e. AWE, Capsule, She's Next, Momentum Project Programs). Support for our programming has been three-fold: grant money has significantly bolstered our progress; the Hub's substantial resource pool has proven indispensable; and also of great value is the Hub's entrepreneurial ecosystem. It offers strong partnerships with stakeholders from various sectors, including large corporations, other NGOs, universities, start-ups, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), consultants, and embassies, all with the ultimate effort to aid those in need. Our primary NGO work is centered around the importance of social enterprise, to help people start businesses that are financially sustainable and have a positive social or environmental impact, and also to raise awareness and educate the community on social and sustainable innovations. We promote, implement, and encourage sustainability measures, environmental protection, and social innovation. Our work is strengthened by the efforts we make to nurture cross-border relations. Encouraging intercultural communication and cooperation between nations-as well asmore locally between minority groups in Hungary-is key for our growth and success. Our ultimate goal at FVA is to enact positive social change within Hungary, to allow our young minds and the women of our nation the opportunity to flourish despite the financial and social struggles they face daily. To that end, our objectives are to continue to grow the Impact Hub network and create resources for our programs, to raise funds for their benefit, and to develop programming with their education and growth a priority. The FVA has a wide range of entrepreneurial experience. In addition to our team founding the Impact Hub, for the past seven years we have developed programs to educate the youth and women of Hungary on how to start and run their own businesses, with a strong emphasis on mentorship programs so that our participants have access to a sizable repository of business knowledge. As mentioned, the IH Budapest provides the FVA (and by extension the women of our proposed program) with a massive cooperative global network of 112 Hubs in 47 countries, on 5 continents, with more than 19,000 members. Links between Hubs in Europe are especially strong; the IH Budapest has joined forces with Hubs in the Czech Republic, Romania, and Austria to partner on various projects. The IH community is extremely supportive, sharing best practices and practical knowledge around co-working, enterprise development, and mentor pool management. Our participants are added to this global community (accessible through the community app), allowing them access to every imaginable resource to begin the work of building their businesses. The Social Impact Award (SIA) network is also part of our global repertoire. This community consists of companies and NGOs running SIA programming in their respective countries. Programming works similarly to the FVA's, with a combination of training and mentoring. The SIA network is a thriving cooperative community for early, idea-stage entrepreneurs as well as for finalists of national programs. Alumni also stay connected, sharing and offering assistance as they grow beyond the SIA program. Our foundation also has a number of local connections, most notably the start-ups, well-established entrepreneurs, and NGOs working at the IH Budapest, where we also work. It is not uncommon for members of these entities to meet in the kitchen for tea or lunch. Halfway through a steaming cup of Earl Grey new ideas are born and niggling problems solved. We also hold community events and knowledge sharing workshops on the topics of social innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship at the IH Budapest for more structured networking opportunities. Additionally, FVA has been part of a local social entrepreneurship ecosystem for the past two years. And we have spearheaded efforts to strengthen cooperation between agents of the Hungarian social enterprise sector (such as Ashoka Hungary, the Badur Foundation, Magnet Bank, SIMPACT, Association of Hungarian Impact Investors, and more). Further, we are actively involved with investors of both Impact Ventures and the Association of Hungarian Impact Investors (THBE), Impact Ventures and the Business Angels Association (HunBAN). Our collaboration with these entities allows social entrepreneurs in our community access to financing. We have also partnered with Magnet Bank; with the national agencies IFKA Public Benefit Non-profit Limited Company renamed recently as MGFU and the National Employment Nonprofit Limited Liability Company (OFA) (both working with social enterprises in rural areas of Hungary); with the municipality of Hajdu-Bihar County on their DelFin project; and with the NGOs Malta Gondoskodas Nonprofit Ltd. and Roma Education Fund, Red Cross all in order to boost our entrepreneurs' business skills. We at FVA provide entrepreneurial resources and education, as well as mentorship, for women across Hungary, primarily those in isolated rural areas from 2020 annually. We are running the 4th Edition in 2024/2025. The target audience for our program (AWE Hungary - Academy of Women Entrepreneurs) is women between the ages of 25 and 55 in both urban and rural areas of Hungary, lacking confidence, support, and resources, struggling to start and/or build their own businesses. Activities are designed primarily around building and pitching a business plan, with one-on-one mentoring to support this process. Our overarching goals include boosting confidence levels of all participants; broadening participant business networks, knowledge, and skills; increasing participant resolve to form social impact businesses, as well as their determination to launch their business 12 months after program completion; and see that participant business ideas have significantly improved.

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

RES NON VERBA ASOCIACION CIVIL (known as Civic House) is an international nonprofit organization that provides a space for creation and collaboration to boost and integrate high-impact civic innovation initiatives, promoting and supporting their sustainability. Civic House aims to gather a community of initiatives that use technology for social change, striving to make the Latin American region more equitable. Within Civic House, there are several initiatives as shown on its website, https://www.civic.house/en. All these initiatives share the same legal personality, as Civic House provides legal, accounting, and administrative support, allowing the initiatives to focus solely on impact. The grant we are applying for, in partnership with 3M under their 3M Impact Post-Project Support, is related to the Ada ITW initiative. Since 2017, Ada ITW has been committed to reducing the gender gap in the tech world by providing technology training to women and assisting them in their job integration process. Over the past seven years, we have trained more than 30,000 women, nearly 60% of whom are now employed in the IT sector. We offer a range of courses and bootcamps in technology, along with payment ease programs and full scholarships for women and femininities who cannot afford these courses. We collaborate closely with hundreds of social organizations in the region to facilitate job placement. As our training is delivered virtually, our reach is regional, only limited by language barriers. I would also like to note that the financial statements and legal documentation we will present belong to Civic House (RES NON VERBA), while the annual budget we will share pertains to Ada ITW internally.
