Cross-checked 4 of 4 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

+A real unrestricted grant of 25,000 US dollars or more, with no equity taken because recipients are nonprofits
+The full calendar is published, which is rare: application period, workshop, interviews, notifications, programme duration and demo days
+Eligibility is two hard requirements plus six named evaluation factors including Leadership, Impact Potential and Lived Experience
+Stacked non-cash value: a three-month programme, pitch bootcamp, Demo Day in front of hundreds of social-impact funders, and open-ended portfolio services afterwards
+Verifiable track record: 12 years running, 112 portfolio organisations, 1.4 billion dollars in follow-on funding
+The page actively encourages borderline applicants: 'Got most (but maybe not all) of these? Just apply.'

Worth checking yourself

!Tight deadline: 7 September 2026
!Not an individual opportunity. You must already have an incorporated nonprofit with a working product, so a young person cannot apply on their own behalf
!The page is internally inconsistent on timezone, writing PST in the banner and PT in the FAQ. September is PDT, so an applicant reading PST literally would think they had an extra hour
