Committee Grants provide funding for new experiments and proven ideas. Whether you’re innovating or iterating, all projects are welcome!

The Committee Grants program funds individuals, groups, or organizations with ideas that align with The Committee Grants shared mission, mainly to propel ideas for the greater good.

Grants are awarded bi-annually, have a minimum budget of $25,000 USD and are generally awarded in four broad categories, but we welcome all ideas!

  1. Education
  2. Research
  3. Software
  4. Energy
