Get Funded

To apply for a project grant, please complete the form on this page and click "Submit".

Your application should respond to our open window or one of our thematic calls for proposals. If your initial submission is shortlisted, we’ll follow up with additional questions and interview you.

We welcome any application – and we don’t want to waste your time. We put a lot of effort into reviewing and vetting ideas, and those that are a substantive fit have a good chance of funding. To date, only a small share of applications have been a fit.

Before you submit:

  1. Please read up on our Values, Our Approach, and our Frequently Asked Questions.
  2. Please also review What We Fund and our Investments to date to assess the fit of your idea.

Consider:

  • Does it align with our Values?
  • Is it likely to demonstrate socioeconomic impact?
  • Does it aim for large scale implementation?
  • Would it naturally feature among the other projects in the Agency Fund's Portfolio?
