INTRODUCING THE AMPLIFER GRANT
Since 2016, we’ve amplified the individuals, businesses & orgs who are boots on the ground everyday trying to make the world a better place. We’re proud to launch The Amplifier Grant as the next extension of that work, awarding at least $5,000 in funds every season.
what it is
The Amplifier Grant is a fund by The Outrage accepting applications on a rolling basis with at least $5,000 in funds awarded on a seasonal basis (ie. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).
WHY NOW
After 7+ years of building resources and tools to help everyday people make the world a better place, in whatever shape that takes, we’re excited to launch a seasonal grant award as an extension of our work.
As times change, so do our needs and funding gaps remain a consistent barrier for getting projects or businesses off the ground. We recognize and celebrate that change can happen in a variety of forms and this grant aims to find the do-ers of the world whether it’s through a small business, community organization, or anything in between. The Amplifier Grant was set up with one goal in mind: to get funds in the hands of people trying to make the world a better place.
