Apply for a Purpose Earth Grant and Mentorship Program

The Purpose Earth Grant and Mentorship Program invites individuals and organizations with purpose-driven projects to apply for funding and support. Designed to empower transformative solutions addressing global challenges, the program provides grants and mentorship to initiatives that align with Purpose Earth’s mission.

Projects should focus on one or more of the following areas: environmental protection, community activation, and cultural collaboration. Environmental projects may include efforts to restore natural resources, reduce environmental degradation, or combat climate change. Community activation refers to initiatives that create strong, thriving networks and promote collective well-being. Cultural collaboration involves creative and compassionate expressions that strengthen unity and cooperation across communities.

Grants are offered up to USD 10,000. Applications requesting more than this amount will not be considered. Projects must demonstrate long-term sustainability beyond the grant, a clear plan for execution, relevant experience from the applicant or team, and a timeline for implementation. Only projects where the grant makes a significant impact on total costs will be funded.

Funds may not be used for salaries, operational costs, travel, conferences, or capital campaigns. The grant must be central to the success of the project. Submissions are limited to the first 200 fully completed applications. Both individuals and organizations may apply, but applications will be vetted according to U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) standards.

Applications from individuals based in certain countries—including Russia, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and others—are ineligible due to legal and sanctions restrictions. Additionally, incomplete applications or those not meeting full standards will not be reviewed.

Applicants must submit at least one professional reference letter, written and dated within the past year, endorsing their leadership and the project’s mission. A one-minute video explaining the project’s vision and potential impact must also be submitted via YouTube. Videos must be publicly viewable—private links will lead to disqualification.
