By Aduragbemi Omiyale

Nominations for the 2025 Awards for Impact Investing organised by the Impact Investors Foundation (IIF) have commenced.

Recipients for this year will be recognised at the prestigious IIF Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony slated for November 6, 2025, in Lagos at the 8th Annual Convening on Impact Investing.

A statement from the leading platform for advancing impact investing disclosed that nominations are open to individuals and organisations across Nigeria and West Africa that can demonstrate measurable impact and a commitment to advancing inclusive, sustainable growth.

Interested nominees have been advised to visit the IIF Awards website to review eligibility criteria and submit entries by September 30, 2025.

IIF Awards is used to celebrate outstanding organisations and individuals whose investments, products, services, or programmes have created measurable social and environmental value while driving sustainable business growth.

The 2025 edition will be the seventh. Since inception, it has celebrated bold visionaries, innovative enterprises, and resilient changemakers working across diverse sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, gender inclusion, and financial services.

The 2024 awardees included Alitheia Capital Management, FAMASI Africa, and the Centre for Legal Support and Inmates Rehabilitation (CELSIR), all of whom are making tangible contributions to social progress.

The 2025 Awards continue this tradition of honouring changemakers who are proving that entrepreneurship, investment, and social good can go hand in hand.

“Over the years, these awards have spotlighted pioneers who demonstrate that capital can and must deliver more than financial returns.

“By recognising these leaders, we aim to inspire others to embed impact into their business and investment strategies and strengthen Nigeria’s journey toward becoming a thriving impact economy,” the chief executive of the Impact Investors Foundation, Ms Etemore Glover, said.
