Based on unexpected progress toward meeting our registration numbers for IFC 2019: Time for Action, we have created a new initiative to offer a number of complimentary places to individuals from organisations that do not have the resources or capacity to experience IFC.
HELP US ACHIEVE THIS IMPORTANT GOAL: If we sell a further 10 places each day over the next two weeks, Resource Alliance will offer 10 places to those at small non-profits, allowing them to join us at no cost*.
It really is that simple. You can make a powerful difference by acting now and completing your registration.
As an added bonus, you will also have the opportunity to submit your recommendation for a worthy recipient when you register.
This is your chance to make a difference for the least resourced organisations in the social impact world, and help us expand the wisdom, talent and perspective of our growing global community!
So please register before 20 September and, together, we can have an incredible impact on those who otherwise could not attend this amazing event!
*Terms and conditions: The Resource Alliance will allocate the complimentary places based on recommendations from the wider community, for those who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend the event. Individuals will be required to cover their own travel expenses.

3. Support fundraisers who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend: “Attending IFC gave me new tools to work with communities, especially women, to overcome gender-based violence through empowerment and autonomy.” – Daniela Fuentes Moncada, Manos de Colores. Going to IFC on a bursary helped Daniela gain new skills which she’s now using to support indigenous women. Help support other fundraisers by registering for IFC 2019.
4. Masterclasses: Masterclasses area unique experience for a real deep-dive with top-level speakers in a room of international delegates. For example, Afrikids raised £1.2 million after attending IFC on a bursary and taking part in one of our ground-breaking masterclasses.

After opening with Kamkwamba, IFC 2019 will close with a trio of young activists who, though facing different sets of circumstances, shared the desire to take action themselves to support the changes they want to see in the world. Read more about our opening plenaries.
9. Gala night: IFC offers a full and fun social programme including networking dinners, a Gala Night, and wellbeing sessions, including guided mindfulness and yoga. There is always something going on for everyone!
