A Small Cohort. A High Bar. A Real Deliverable.
The Global Impact Fellowship supports a small cohort of individuals who are already producing strong work across creative, cultural, and community-based spaces — and are ready to develop that work into a complete, usable output.
Fellows are selected based on demonstrated ability, clarity of thought, and the potential to translate lived experience across environments into work that can be applied, implemented, or expanded.
Each fellow is expected to complete a defined project from concept through final delivery within the fellowship period.

Each fellow may receive support across three core areas, with a total package of up to $9,000.
