🌱 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Promise Sandbox Award!

This award is designed for proximate leaders with ideas for transformative impact in early childhood and offers:
💰 $20,000 in funding to bring your idea to life
🧠 Peer–support and training to help you explore and test your idea
🤝 Access to Promise’s networks and connections

What makes YOU a good fit for this opportunity?
☑️ You understand challenges in early childhood because you've worked towards addressing them
☑️ Your persistence, curiosity, and resourcefulness are your superpowers
☑️ You know which solutions will work because you're from the communities you serve
☑️ You are ready to test your ideas and bring them to life

This award is a new offering from Promise in 2025, and this year our team seeks to learn about the grant-making and capacity- building support needed at the earliest stages of entrepreneurship. We will partner with awardees to create new knowledge about what capital (human, social, financial, etc) and resources are most helpful in making a transformative idea a reality.

📅 Interested in applying? Our application will launch next week and we’ll share additional details in a follow-up announcement! For now, we invite you to follow us here for updates and sign up for an information session to learn more:
