Mission

The Milestone Grant Program is opening the doors to grant making. We're bringing together a community of donors who want a seat at the table โ€” evaluating founders, recommending where capital goes, and measuring the real-world impact of every dollar.

The Process

How It
Works

Three steps to becoming a grant maker and deploying capital that creates lasting impact.

01

Join the Committee

Apply to become a grant committee member. We welcome donors who share our mission to support innovation.

02

Evaluate & Vote

Review founder applications as a group. Hear pitches, ask questions, and collectively recommend which ventures receive grant funding.

03

Deploy & Track

Watch your capital go to work. We track and report on six key impact metrics so you see the real outcomes of your funding recommendations.

Measuring What Matters

Impact
We
Seek

We follow the journey of every grant winner across six categories that reflect real-world progress โ€” and report the outcomes back to every committee member who helped make it happen.

Jobs Created

New positions and economic opportunity generated by funded ventures.

Revenue Generated

Top-line growth and commercial traction achieved post-funding.

Follow-On Funding

Additional capital raised after the initial grant, multiplying your impact.

Customer Acquisition

New customers and users gained, validating product-market fit.

Confidence Built

Founder self-efficacy and momentum cultivated through the grant experience.

Press Coverage

Media exposure and visibility earned by funded founders and their ventures.
