Focal Point Impact Grant
The Focal Point Impact Grant accelerates high-potential, innovative ideas.
Often visionary leaders are severely underfunded – or the funding available to them is heavily restricted – making it difficult to take risks and try new approaches. Imagine having the financial support you need to test your idea and build a team around it.
The Focal Point Impact Grant exists to accelerate high-potential, innovative ideas by investing in the nonprofit leaders who can bring those ideas to life. The unrestricted grant(s) will support a trail-blazing leader(s) affiliated with a qualified 501(3)(c) seeking new ways to solve difficult problems and improve people’s lives.
The grant is open to nonprofits working in a variety of fields, including public health, medical services, education, and conservation. We want to hear from organizations that have bold, creative solutions to some of the world's most intractable problems. We are looking for leaders with a proven track record of success and a clear plan for how they will use the grant to advance their idea and make an impact.
