Guggenheim Partners invites applications for Network for Social Innovation

Guggenheim Partners invites applications for the Network for Social Innovation, which seeks to identify and support early-stage nonprofits leveraging innovative solutions to solve enduring social problems. Through the program, Guggenheim Partners aims to partner with organizations experimenting with big ideas that have the potential for an even bigger impact.

To that end, Guggenheim Partners invites applications from promising early-stage organizations with entrepreneurial leadership and fresh ideas. Organizations must have an observable direct-service program in place and work with underserved populations (including but not limited to low-income and/or homeless individuals, veterans, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and those disadvantaged because of lack of access to basic resources and services). Selected organizations will receive $100,000 in general operating support, “creative capital” investments of Guggenheim employees’ time and talents, and connections across the broader philanthropic and non-profit communities.

To be eligible, organizations must be less than 10 years old; have a budget under $10 million; have at least two full-time staff members and qualify for tax-exempt status as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Round one applications are due May 31, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. ET, and selected applications will be invited to submit a round two application in August 2022.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Guggenheim Partners website.

Deadline: May 31, 2022 5:00 p.m. ET (Round 1 applications)
