UPDATE

AUGUST 22, 2019

We are excited to announce our new Entrepreneurship Fund Kickstarter Grants!

Entrepreneurship Fund Kickstarter Grants are short-term, non-renewable grants of up to $2,000 to help you launch a new project or get your existing project to the next level. We are now accepting proposals on a rolling basis for entrepreneurial and freelance projects that address a variety of needs, target diverse populations, and employ different strategies.

“This grant gave me the confidence to take my business to the next level, to create a space to help others and, most importantly, to grow as a social entrepreneur.” — Maria Mendez, Entrepreneurship Fund Grantee

We are open to supporting projects that serve and advocate for undocumented people, as well as ones with broader potential impact. Projects can be non-profit or for-profit initiatives—or hybrid projects that include both nonprofit and for-profit components. Most importantly, projects must create positive social change and must be designed and led by undocumented young people.
 
Applicants must be born outside of the United States and cannot be U.S. Citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR). Applicants do not need to be eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to qualify.

Applications for the Entrepreneurship Fund Kickstarter Grants will be accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed every month.

Eager to kickstart your entrepreneurial or freelance project? Apply for a Kickstarter Grant today.
