JUMP Grants for Projects that Spread Awareness about Poverty

As part of the Doing Development Differently Campaign, Atlas Network invites its partners to apply for the Joining Up to Minimize Poverty (JUMP) grants.

JUMP grants support partner projects that aim to spread awareness to new audiences of how poverty can be reduced by increasing economic freedom. Ideas for locally-focused educational and awareness campaigns that demonstrate the power of free markets to unleash prosperity and reduce poverty are particularly encouraged. Projects that identify new opportunities to spread this message outside of those who share a "liberty vocabulary" are a priority for this opportunity.

Atlas Network suggests requests of roughly $15,000, though other amounts may be entertained. Strong candidates for this grant will execute a compelling multimedia strategy as a key element of their project, potentially including video production, photojournalism, and/or targeted media placements. They will also exhibit strong respect for the dignity and autonomy of poor people as a cornerstone of development strategies.

Both international and United States partners are eligible. Matching preferred. Atlas Network is not endowed and accepts no government funding, so its capacity to give is restricted by its own fundraising success.

Atlas Network Academy participants preferred.
