The fine print….

Greater Sum is a private operating foundation. We give unrestricted grants to promising early-stage nonprofits participating in our programs. In addition to awarding $15,000 in unrestricted grant prizes through our 2021 Pitch Competition, Greater Sum will provide up to $50,000 in funds to match individual donations made to the nonprofits in this year’s accelerator through this fundraising hub from 11/30/2021-12/17-2021. Details of the match can be found HERE and questions can be directed to info@thegreatersum.org

If you are a foundation interested in connecting with one of the organizations in the accelerator, we are happy to facilitate an introduction. Please contact info@thegreatersum.org for more information.
