About Organisation
The 776 Foundation is committed to empowering young changemakers who are passionate about addressing global challenges, particularly climate change. Founded by Alexis Ohanian, the foundation supports early-stage innovators by providing them with financial resources and mentorship to develop transformative solutions. The 776 Fellowship Program is a key initiative, designed to equip young leaders with the time, capital, and community support necessary to bring their groundbreaking ideas to life.
The foundation believes in investing in talent at the earliest stages, ensuring that ambitious individuals have the opportunity to work full-time on their vision without financial constraints. Through its extensive network, 776 connects fellows with industry leaders, investors, and mentors, helping them navigate their journey from idea to impact. The program fosters a collaborative environment, enabling fellows to refine their projects, scale their impact, and contribute to solving critical environmental issues.
With a strong emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and leadership, the 776 Foundation has already supported multiple cohorts of fellows who have gone on to secure significant funding and create pioneering solutions in the climate space. By nurturing young visionaries, the foundation aims to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
About the Grant
The 776 Fellowship Program is a two-year initiative that provides selected young leaders with a grant of up to $100,000. The fellowship is designed to support individuals who are dedicated to developing solutions for climate change and other pressing environmental issues. It allows recipients to fully immerse themselves in their projects without financial limitations, enabling them to focus on research, development, and implementation.
Beyond financial support, the program offers access to the 776 network, which includes successful entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. Fellows benefit from mentorship, peer collaboration, and resources that help them scale their projects effectively. The initiative is not just about funding; it aims to create a strong foundation for long-term impact by equipping fellows with essential skills and connections.
This grant is an opportunity for young innovators to transform their bold ideas into tangible solutions. Whether working on climate technology, policy initiatives, or nonprofit ventures, the fellows receive guidance and backing to maximize their impact. The 776 Fellowship serves as a launchpad for young leaders, ensuring they have the resources to drive meaningful change in their respective fields.
Who can Apply?
The 776 Fellowship is open to young individuals worldwide who are between the ages of 18 and 24. Applicants must be passionate about solving climate change-related issues and should have a well-defined project, startup, or initiative that they wish to pursue full-time. The fellowship encourages ambitious thinkers who are willing to commit to their ideas and develop innovative, scalable solutions.
Eligible candidates include those who are currently in school but are willing to take a break or those who are ready to dedicate two years exclusively to their project. The program is open to individuals across all academic backgrounds, as long as their work contributes to climate action. Applicants do not need to be based in a specific country, making this a global opportunity for young changemakers.
This fellowship is ideal for those who are already taking active steps toward building solutions, whether through technology, advocacy, entrepreneurship, or policy. The program is not meant for those looking for a general networking opportunity; instead, it is focused on individuals who are prepared to execute and deliver measurable results. If you are driven by a purpose and committed to making a difference, this grant could be the perfect opportunity.
How to Apply?
Interested candidates can apply by submitting an application detailing their project, its impact, and how the fellowship will support its growth. The selection process includes an initial application review, finalist announcements, and final selections. Applicants should provide a clear vision, a well-defined problem statement, and a plan for execution. Strong applications will demonstrate commitment, feasibility, and innovation in tackling climate change.
