How We Fund

We believe in research and intelligence gathering, this is why we spend years learning and listening before making our grant allocations. We focus on building partnerships with multiple stakeholders and developing relationships that work for all parties involved. We don’t accept applications or hold open calls, we’d rather we meet you in the field, build a relationship and then discuss how might we work together.

Featured Case Studies

We structure our grants to meet the needs of the initiative. Generally, you can expect to see some variation of the 3 grants below:

Conconi Legacy Grant

Multi-year grant, reserved for our core granting priorities.

Conconi Challenge Grant

A one-time matching campaign, mostly used for the core granting priorities to kick start a new initiative or build awareness. Occasionally, we will use this in the context of the innovation grant.

Conconi Innovation Grant

A catalytic grant designed to spark applied research and innovation. Can be structured as Conconi Challenge (match) or Conconi Legacy (multi-year) or both.
