Apply for a grant

Always open · no deadline

Open to employee-owned companies, worker cooperatives, and businesses converting to either. You do not need to be listed in our directory — the organisations this exists for are usually the ones not listed yet.

A person reads every application. Approved ones appear on the grants page where anyone with an account can back them, and those votes keep accumulating for as long as your application is up. There is no round to miss and nothing resets. The vote is the strongest input into who gets funded, not the whole of it.

Your organisation

However you'd describe it. “Trying to become one” is a valid answer.

The ask

A real number, not a polite one. Grants may be smaller than asked for, and are never larger.

Published on your application page. Specific beats impressive.

Who to contact

Contact details are never published — only your organisation's name, summary and use of funds appear on the public page.
