Deadline: 8-Nov-23
Do you know a nonprofit that’s focused on making a difference in crisis response, child welfare, or the environment? Box is excited to tell you about a grant opportunity for organizations working in these areas.
Areas
- Advancing Child Welfare
- Angels Foster Family Network, CASA of San Mateo County: These are just a few Box customers doing amazing things in the child welfare space. They want to amplify the impact of nonprofits working in child welfare systems around the world. Your application might include projects like foster care programming, legal services, or programs for orphaned children.
- Supporting Crisis Response
- When you’re coordinating critical services, secure collaboration across every device is a must. The crisis response category covers nonprofits in emergency and disaster relief services, including refugee support (think Oxfam, IRC, and Team Rubicon Global). Applications for this category could tackle challenges like gathering topographic data or enabling mobile hotspots.
- Protecting the Planet
- Digital transformation leads to planet-saving outcomes — just look to Box customers like The Nature Conservancy and charity: water. This category covers areas such as environmental protection, energy conservation, renewable energy, nature conservation, and biodiversity. Application examples include projects like improving environmental research or calculating your impact from going paperless.
Funding Information
- The Box Impact Fund will award a total of $150K to six different nonprofits pursuing digital transformation projects. Each selected organization will receive a $25K grant to put towards expanding their tech capacities — with a goal of empowering teams to focus on their mission-driven work.

- Organizations eligible for the Box Impact Fund have a declared and verifiable charitable or philanthropic mission to benefit communities. Organizations must have a recognized legal status in their respective country.
