ChangeX and ServiceNow Expand Community Improvement Fund to Eight Markets, Funding Decarbonisation Projects in the United Kingdom and Around the World
April 2025 – ChangeX, a community engagement platform, and ServiceNow, a global technology company, have announced the expansion of the ServiceNow Community Improvement Fund to eight markets, providing funding for community projects focused on decarbonisation. The fund will support projects in the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, and the United States.
This marks the third year of collaboration between ChangeX and ServiceNow, with a total investment of nearly $2 million to date. The initiative has already supported 53 community projects in nine countries, including neighborhood recycling initiatives, a campus micro forest, solar energy projects, and various educational programs.
The 2025 ServiceNow Community Improvement Fund will provide funding for nonprofits and schools in the United Kingdom to start or expand community projects focused on decarbonisation. Applicants can submit their own project idea or choose from a selection of proven high-impact climate ideas that have already had a positive social or environmental impact in other communities across the world.
These two proven ideas include Ecosystem Restoration Communities (ERC), which focuses on “regreening” the planet by rebuilding soil, fixing water systems, and increasing local biodiversity on degraded land, and Precious Plastic, an initiative designed to reduce plastic waste by encouraging communities to recycle plastic and turn plastic waste into valuable products.
“At ServiceNow, we are committed to making the world work better for everyone. Through the ServiceNow Community Improvement Fund, we proudly invest in organizations that prioritize decarbonisation within our local communities, thereby advancing us towards a more sustainable future,” said Lyndsay Harris-Kyei, Vice President of Global Impact and Sustainability at ServiceNow.
“ChangeX is proud to continue and deepen our collaboration with ServiceNow in our shared mission to empower communities to tackle climate change,” said Paul O’Hara, Chief Executive at ChangeX. “We have witnessed the power of community-driven initiatives to drive real change. By deepening our collaboration, we can further support local changemakers, driving even greater and more lasting impact.”
The application deadline for the 2025 ServiceNow Community Improvement Fund is May 8, and ChangeX is accepting applications from organizations across the United Kingdom. For more information and details on how to apply, please visit: https://bit.ly/4hXRIUj
