The period to apply for these grants "to harness the transformative power of love to tackle social challenges like polarization and loneliness" is now until March 24. I'm not involved, but saw the email and wanted to share this, as you may be working on something that could get you a grant!
The Greater Good Science Center's Spreading Love Through the Media initiative, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, is a three-year effort to harness the transformative power of love to tackle social challenges like polarization and loneliness. This initiative seeks to broaden the concept of love beyond romantic relationships, highlighting its role in fostering compassion, altruism, and social cohesion.
We are offering grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 to fund projects that showcase love's power to build connection and resilience. Funded by the John Templeton Foundation, the Spreading Love Through the Media initiative will award approximately two dozen grants to support nonfiction content and reported stories exploring love in its many forms-compassionate, familial, romantic, and beyond.
Grantees will not only receive financial support to produce articles, videos, podcasts, and other media, but they will also benefit from guidance by scientific advisors and participation in a collaborative cohort throughout the 18-month program.
