(Translation / Traduction / Tafsiri)
Thank you for your interest in the +1 Global Fund—a nomination-based grantmaking program created by The Roddenberry Foundation (TRF) and its funding partners to accelerate progress towards solving pressing societal problems. There are multiple +1 Global Funds, each focused on a specific problem and/or region. Each Fund consists of multiple Rounds, each approximately 12 weeks long, during which social change leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators nominate their peers for +1 Global Fund support. Each round proceeds as follows:
- Network Partners are secured for each round, to recommend Nominators.
- Nominators complete a simple form to nominate organizations—Nominees—who are targeting the specific +1 Global Fund’s problem and/or region of focus.
- Nominees submit a brief application and are reviewed and vetted by TRF and its partners.
- Selected Nominees—Awardees—receive a grant and non-financial support.
- The Nominator whose Nominee is selected for funding receives an honorarium as an individual. This honorarium is for recognizing their contribution of referring a Nominee and is not considered a grant award.
The Rules governing each +1 Global Fund ("RULES") are stated here.
1. Eligibility
TRF welcomes +1 Global Fund participation from organizations who have been identified by Nominators and who meet ONE of the following criteria:
- An organization recognized as a 501(c)3 organization by the Internal Revenue Service under the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
- A university, college, or academic or research institution or center that is part of a university meeting the eligibility criteria if the university adopts the proposed approach as its own.
