Roddenberry Catalyst Fund is awarded to early-stage ideas and projects that have the potential to radically reframe existing problems, surface untapped innovations, and disrupt how and by whom we make the world a better place.
The Roddenberry Catalyst Fund awards grants of $2,500 to $15,000 to anyone, wherever in the globe, who has an early-stage concept or project that tackles urgent global concerns.
