About

Ingenious+

Ingenious+ is a Canadian innovation challenge for young people aged 14-18 that provides financial support, mentorship, and learning opportunities to help youth realize their ideas. Administered by the Rideau Hall Foundation, the program supports innovators developing solutions across five themes: Community and Civic Engagement, Climate Change and the Environment, Equity and Inclusion, Health and Well-being, and Technology and Entrepreneurship. Winners receive $1,000 or more in funding along with access to mentors and learning resources. The initiative celebrates regional winners across Canada and recognizes national finalists during Canadian Innovation Week in May. To be eligible, applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents with parental consent if under the age of majority, and their projects must be youth-led and focused on community-level or broader solutions.
