Its first Mycelia cohort picks two people who already run a storytelling or arts and humanities project and pays them to push that work further over eight weeks, remotely, from November to December 2026.

  • Write one piece for the Social Resonance Lab Substack

  • Interviews late September to early October 2026

  • Fellowship runs November 1 to December 31, 2026

More information:

  • Social Resonance Lab is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 33-4904782, based at 650 Ponce De Leon Ave, Atlanta, GA

Who can apply

  • Open to United States residents only, with project activities based in the United States or its territories
  • You must already be running a storytelling or arts and humanities project; entirely new ideas are not funded
  • Your project must fit one of two tracks: Arts as a Civic Tool, or AI and the Digital Landscape
  • You must be able to file a W-9 form and receive stipend payments to a domestic US bank account
  • You must be available for the full eight week period, November 1 to December 31, 2026
  • The application asks for one link to prior work, writing or a portfolio
  • No age limit is stated anywhere in the programme materials
  • People already active in storytelling or arts and humanities work grounded in intersectional practice, who want to scale, document or extend something they have started rather than begin from scratch.

Applicants must be United States residents whose work is based in the United States or its territories, and must be able to file a W-9 and receive the stipend into a domestic US bank account.

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +$2,000 for eight weeks of remote work, running 1 November to 31 December 2026.
  • +Fully remote, so no relocation.
  • +Free to apply, and run by Social Resonance Lab, a registered US nonprofit whose charitable status can be checked independently.
  • +Only two fellows are taken, so you get real attention rather than being one of a crowd.

Worth checking yourself

  • !United States residents only. You need a US bank account and have to complete a W-9 tax form, which is easy to miss because the programme is otherwise fully remote.
  • !Only two places, so it is highly competitive.
  • !It is aimed at someone with an established practice in storytelling, arts or civic work rather than someone just starting out.
  • !Their main website still points at a closed form for an older fellowship. Use the link here, which goes to the live one.

LOT finds and checks opportunities from public sources. Always confirm details on the organiser’s own page before applying.
