Quick Note on AI Usage before you start: We encourage against the use of AI when writing your application. We aren't looking for a beautifully written application - we want to hear your thoughts and plans in your own words, no need to be formal!
If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to send an email to grants@joinpatch.org.
(Could be a project, trip, tool, event - anything that’ll help you go further)
What are you hoping to do, and why? Why does it matter to you? What would this grant unlock? Who are you/your team and what's your background in this area? We love to see detail!
Have you made progress toward this already? Built anything? Run or tried something? Taught yourself something? Reached out to anyone?If it’s a new idea or opportunity, you can also tell us about other things you’ve done that show how you learn, explore, or follow through.
A prototype built? A trip taken? A plan in motion? A feature made?
Where is this going? What kind of trajectory are you on?
We would encourage you to apply only for as much funding as you need! If you apply now for less than €1000, you can re-apply later for additional funding up to a total of €1000.
What do you plan to buy? What are the expected expenses? How much money will you allocate to each aspect? Feel free to include links to specific things you plan to buy.
Mentorship, feedback, introductions - let us know!

Please list each URL on a separate line and make sure link sharing is turned on where necessary
