FAQ

When can I apply?

Grant applications are open 4 times a year (once a quarter) for 1 month. You'll see an "Apply" button at the top of this page when applications are open. If you do not see an "Apply" button, applications are currently closed.

Who can apply?

We are looking for people who are already making moves towards their goals, perhaps in spite of barriers or lack of access. Anyone in the U.S. (and able to complete a W9 form) who is working toward a worthy mission or a meaningful goal, and who seeks financial aid in moving ahead – regardless of their race, gender, age, orientation, or creed – is welcome to apply.

How do I apply?

You are welcome to apply anytime applications are open, and we will continue awarding grants to recipients whenever possible. Please note, only a small percentage of applicants will be selected to receive a grant.

How are recipients chosen?

At this time, we will review all applications quarterly. Our founders, and possibly a select and diverse panel of advisors, will select recipients based on the merit, feasibility, and potential grant impact based on their application request.
