INTERNET SOCIETY FOUNDATION BOLT GRANT PROGRAM: EMPOWERING INNOVATION FOR GLOBAL INTERNET ACCESS 

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 21:00 UTC on Friday, August 6th, 2024. 

LOCATION: USA

The Building Opportunities/Leveraging Technologies (BOLT) Grant Program is designed to support teams of innovators working to expand the possibility of Internet connectivity and access globally through the development of prototypes and pilots. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The Foundation seeks to fund teams housed in organizations that align with the Internet Society’s mission and its work for an open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet for everyone.

In order to receive funding from the Internet Society Foundation, all applicant organizations applying must meet the following three (3) requirements:

Be a legally registered 501(c)(3) OR equivalent. (Before awarding funds to any organization, the Foundation will verify this equivalency)

Possess alignment with the purposes and activities of Internet Society (ISOC), the Foundation’s supported organization

Have an official bank account in their name (based on their legal registration)

If you are not a registered 501(c)(3), your organization may be eligible for Equivalency Determination Certification. To better understand how an Equivalency Determination is made, please consult the Equivalency Determination section below. 

NOTE: Before awarding funds to an organization, the Foundation will verify equivalency. If you are not a 501(c)(3), and we determine your organization cannot, or is not likely to get an Equivalency Determination, the Foundation cannot award you a grant. An Equivalency Determination is a process where a U.S. grantmaker evaluates whether an intended international grantee is the equivalent of a U.S. public charity, a 501(c)(3). 

BENEFIT:

Grants of up to USD$300,000 will be awarded for projects up to 18 months in duration.

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: September 11, 2024 (12 noon Central Time)

LOCATION: USA

The Small Research Grants on Education Program supports education research projects that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived, with budgets up to $50,000 for projects ranging from one to five years. We accept applications three times per year.

ELIGIBILITY:

Proposals to the Small Research Grants on Education program must be for research projects that aim to study education. Proposals for activities other than research are not eligible (e.g., program evaluations, professional development, curriculum development, scholarships, capital projects, software development). Additionally, proposals for research studies focused on areas other than education are not eligible.

Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs applying for a Small Research Grant on Education must have an earned doctorate in an academic discipline or professional field, or appropriate experience in an education research-related profession. While graduate students may be part of the research team, they may not be named the PI or Co-PI on the proposal.

The PI must be affiliated with a non-profit organization or public/governmental institution that is willing to serve as the administering organization if the grant is awarded. The Spencer Foundation does not award grants directly to individuals. Examples include non-profit or public colleges, universities, school districts, and research facilities, as well as other non-profit organizations with a 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS (or equivalent non-profit status if the organization is outside of the United States).

Proposals are accepted from the U.S. and internationally, however, all proposals must be submitted in English and budgets must be proposed in U.S. Dollars.

BENEFIT:

Up to $50,000 for projects ranging from one to five years. Eligible investigators may also request additional supplemental funds for a course release. Applications are accepted three times per year.
