Follow-on Grants

Do you have idea for a post-BFTF project but don’t have the funds to pursue it? Do you and several others have an idea for a cross-country project but don’t have the funds to pursue it? Do you want to start a “mini-Ben” involving several of your fellow BFTFers, but don’t have the funds to pursue it?

We provide opportunities for “follow-on grants” to help you pursue your social entrepreneurship projects.  We have sufficient funds remaining that we can use for providing seeding money for your projects/ideas. Fellows from 2016, 2017, or 2018 BFTF are eligible to apply. Cross-BFTF projects are encouraged. You will need to apply for such a grant by March 1, 2019. But don’t wait until the last moment as we may not have funds available. We will have rolling acceptance which means once we receive several we will look them over and make a decision on how much to grant — from $100-$500.
