About Sparks of Regeneration

The Sparks of Regeneration Open Call invites innovators, changemakers, community leaders, and systems thinkers to share bold, regenerative ideas that reimagine the systems in which we live.

Unearthodox is seeking innovators and change-makers with early-stage ideas or innovations that are already in motion. We are not looking for brand-new, untested ideas or established projects seeking only to scale without significant change in direction or approach. We are looking for solutions that can bring regeneration to life in areas such as nature conservation, climate, food systems, well-being, education, governance, and beyond. 

We understand that nature conservation can take many forms, extending beyond the protection of species or habitats. It can include work that restores ecosystems, strengthens community stewardship of natural resources, and/or reimagines how human and ecological systems coexist.

What do selected participants receive?

• A grant of up to CHF 10,000 to move the idea into action.
• Access to a shared pool of up to CHF 50,000 in non-financial support for the selected group of innovators, including storytelling, systems mapping, and strategic support.
• An 8-month incubation journey with the other Sparks of Regeneration open call innovators, starting in January 2026, which will include collective mentoring, peer learning, and shared exploration.
• Networking opportunities with a global community of innovators and practitioners.
• Visibility and amplification through Unearthodox’s communication channels.

About Unearthodox

Unearthodox is a thinkubator that supports unexpected connections to transform bold visions into reality. The organisation explores new concepts, anticipates emerging trends, and brings impact-focused innovation into action, catalysing transformative change for people and the planet.

Its mission is to make bold, transformative innovations for people and nature findable, fundable, and feasible. Rather than adding to the many near-term solutions available in conservation, Unearthodox works in networks to reimagine what is possible, creating space for long-term, equitable, and regenerative futures to take shape, and moving ideas from vision to reality.

The organisation connects and works alongside innovators, thought leaders, funders, and decision-makers who are committed to deep, systemic change in the service of all life.
