Summary

This opportunity offers prize-based grants for individuals, nonprofits, and both for-profit and non-profit ecosystem builders. With a combined total of at least $500,000 to be distributed in a single round, individual awards typically range from $5,000 to $100,000, depending on project scope.


  • Open to Nonprofit organizations and for-profit entities involved in supporting entrepreneurs or developing programs that strengthen the entrepreneurial landscape. Educational institutions, economic development groups, accelerator programs, networking groups, and even individual entrepreneurs with existing businesses are encouraged. 


Funding is flexible, allowing winners to invest in activities like events and networking, program development, outreach and storytelling, and resource-building to support founder communities and entrepreneurial initiatives. The goal is to foster interconnectedness and fuel collective momentum—beyond single ventures .


The competition targets “ecosystem builders”—those who create platforms, meetups, tools, and collaborative infrastructure supporting multiple entrepreneurs, not just their own business. Projects should enhance regional cohesion, inspire innovation, and generate broader economic impact.
