A grant panel has been set up by TMT to assess applications and select organisations based on the strength of the founding team, quality of the solution and the org’s growth potential.
Funds are unrestricted, meaning that you can propose the use of funds according to your needs. But post-approval, funds should only be for the approved use stated in the proposal.
All income will be considered, including donations, grants, programme fees. However, $250k is a reference point, we strive to be flexible within a reasonable range.
We will work with your organisation to determine a suitable timeline. As a rule of thumb, approved grantee partners should hire within the first 3 months. *If neither of the founding team members is a full-time hire, they should continue holding key volunteer positions.

Masterclasses and learning sessions will begin in April 2022 and will be held quarterly. There will also be quarterly check-ins on your growth progress.
