Our Work
Highlighting our projects: Focused initiatives with tangible impacts.
Ember Fund
The Ember Fund provides small, no-strings-attached grants to individuals looking to ignite their ideas into action.
Whether you need a website, art supplies, or just a little push to bring your project to life, we believe small sparks can create significant change.
Anyone with a thoughtful idea and a genuine drive is encouraged to apply. Let’s turn potential into possibility.
Awards range from $50-$500.
Acacia Initiative
The Acacia Initiative invests directly in individuals and families in emerging economies, providing essential funding to help launch small businesses, farms, or other life-sustaining projects.
Inspired by the Acacia tree, this initiative aims to foster self-sufficiency, stability, and growth where resources are limited.
While we proactively identify recipients with potential to benefit, you can contact us if you believe there is a fitting cause.
The Mariner Grants
These grants support ambitious, early-stage projects designed with impact at their core.
With awards ranging from $500 to $2,000, these grants are for builders, organizers, and creators charting bold courses. From building software that gives small business financial planning tools, grassroots initiatives to start mentorship programs, or building community gardens, the possibilities are limitless.
Like the mariners of old, we back those navigating uncertain waters with a destination worth reaching.
DECODE Project
Democracy, Engagement, & COmmunity DEvelopment
This project supports efforts that strengthen democratic participation, elevate civic voices, and build more informed, engaged communities.
From empowering young journalists to expanding access to civic education and supporting advocacy initiatives, we invest in people and ideas that uphold the core principles of open, participatory democracy.
This program is proactive—we seek out the work we believe matters most.
If you know someone building something that deserves support, we’d like to hear about it.
