The Unity for Humanity program is designed to uplift and empower social impact creators. During today's Keynote, we announced the Unity for Humanity 2022 Grant and introduced the Imagine Grant, created in partnership with award-winning artist, actor, and activist Common. The grant theme is inspired by Common's latest single, "Imagine." The grant will be awarded to the project that best 'imagines a better world.'
The Unity for Humanity Grant and the Imagine Grant are open for applications through December 3, 2021. We're awarding $500K USD in total across the grants. While a single project cannot receive both the Imagine Grant and a Unity for Humanity 2022 Grant, you can apply for both via the same application.
All grant applications will be evaluated using the following criteria:
Vision: Does the project reflect a strong sense of compassion for humanity? Does the project demonstrate clarity of vision and express a unique point of view?
Inclusion: Are the project and team demographically diverse?* Does the project have a natural connection to the community and audience it represents and/or serves?
Impact: Does the project have clear social impact goals or a call to action in alignment with the 17 UN Sustainable development goals? Does the application include an impact plan?
Viability:Are the production, financial, and impact milestones achievable? Is the project realistic in scope?
In addition to the general Unity for Humanity Grant evaluation criteria, the Imagine Grant recipient will be selected using the following additional criteria:
Positive future of humanity: Does the project provide a strong picture of humanity's future that is inclusive, transformative, and/or positive?
Based on real-world issues: While imagining a better future, is the project based on real-world issues? Examples include climate change, human rights infringements, economic disparity and lack of opportunity, etc.
Inspiration for change:Does the project have the potential to inspire audiences to make positive changes and take action?
Imagination: Does the project demonstrate uniqueness, depth, and/or imagination in terms of its story and approach to depicting a better world?
Motivation: Does the team articulate a strong motivation for creating the future world represented in their application?
