They create space for you to try out new ideas or expand your existing programs in exciting ways. An incubation grant might help you forge a new partnership or deepen an existing one, research a new topic or add perspective to an old favorite, talk to community stakeholders, or learn more about your audience. You might design a pilot program or prototype a number of different ideas. We encourage you to set out a bold vision and see where it takes you.Incubation grants support projects that may be in the earliest stages of development. As such, we understand that preliminary ideas might change and evolve. We are most interested in hearing about the need you wish to address, your goals in starting this process, and how you plan to collect information. A meaningful question is the start of a great incubation grant proposal. The most competitive proposals will articulate a vision, a plan, and a willingness to try something new.
