Funding amount and grant structure
In general, we think unrestricted funding for general operating support is often the most valuable kind of funding, so we aim to provide that by default where possible. That being said, we are open to funding specific projects or needs. Additionally, other factors such as the grantee’s corporate structure may influence how we structure our grant.
We expect most grants to be for one or two years, and to be non-renewable by default.
