Grants for Coronavirus Solutions and Support
Beating the virus is going to take as much effort as humanly possible
We’re a cryptocurrency-focused investment firm, but we feel a responsibility to contribute to the decentralized response to beating the virus. We’re now giving $2,500 grants to support individuals who are finding ways to help those suffering from the physical, emotional and financial damage that’s being caused. The ideas don’t need to be cryptocurrency related, although we welcome those of course.
Ideas can be anything, from 3D printing of respirator parts for the doctors and nurses on the frontlines, to new testing and tracing tools, to organizing local food deliveries for the elderly or kids who are no longer able to access school lunch. We’re open to all ideas, but here’s a good list of potential projects to explore.
We will give preference to ideas aimed at helping people at large scale, but will also consider more targeted ideas to help people. We’ll be selecting 10 individuals to receive grants. Our initial $25,000 program is small in the big picture of course, but if everyone contributes what they can we will get through this stronger.
To apply, email grants@1confirmation.com with your name, location, a link to your social media profile and your idea. You can also tweet us @1confirmation. We’ll be scheduling video calls with people over the next few weeks and giving the grants by April 3rd.
