What is a Mini-Catalyst Grant?

Let’s Choose Love Grant Applications are Currently Closed.

Do you have a vision for spreading love and creating a positive impact? Are you passionate about supporting your community—whether through environmental efforts, helping children, fighting hunger, sharing art, or other meaningful initiatives—but facing obstacles in bringing your idea to life? Our Mini-Catalyst Grants provide both financial support and free coaching sessions with a business consultant to help guide you through your project.

The Let’s Choose Love Mini-Catalyst Grant is an opportunity for you to find your voice, identify the gift you have to bring to the world, find the passion of your calling, and take action on that. You may apply for any project that does good in the world. Anyone may apply, but priority is given to people between 16 and 30 years old.

Check out the Blog or Projects we Have Funded pages for examples of the projects we have supported.
