The Wild Gifting Project

↓

Thank you for your interest in The Wild Gifting Project. We are currently at our funding capacity and are taking a pause on funding new projects.

We will begin accepting proposals again in the Summer of 2026.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to stay connected with us for future opportunities.

The Wild Gifting Project delivers grants to foster unique charitable projects. Our mission is deliberately broad. We want to find unseen acts of grace and generosity that need encouragement (and some cash), regardless of focus. The world needs more obviously good things.

We’ll consider anything quirky, kind, or obviously awesome, but are especially invested in projects that are:

  • Experimental: we want to help find new ways to tackle hard problems.
  • Hard To Measure: “good” and “effective” results aren’t always obvious or immediate.
  • Neglected: benefiting people who are overlooked, under-served, or dehumanized.
  • Misfit: needs that live in-between standard charities or that don’t fit into normal giving categories or budgets.

Tell Us About Your Idea

(For 2026 or later)

We want to take chances on people and projects that need a gift to get started. It doesn’t have to be grand to be worth doing! If that’s you or someone you know, write to us at proposals@thewildgiftingproject.org with:

  • Who you are
  • What you want to do
  • How much money you need to do it
  • That’s it.

If your idea sounds intriguing, we’ll be in touch. If we like what we hear after a short conversation, we’ll fund your project.
