Moonshot Cohort Invitation to Apply!
March 06, 2024
Moonshot Cohort:
Objective: Position teams of ASU faculty, staff, and their community partners to compete for and receive philanthropic moonshot funding to advance their Charter-driven work.
Overview
- The cohort experience will take place over the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters.
- The fall semester will focus on the foundations of philanthropy and fundamentals of moonshot thinking.
- During the spring semester teams will develop materials that can be used for future proposals to philanthropic moonshot funders.
- The cohort will culminate in a “Demo Day” during which participants will have the opportunity to present their ideas in front of program officers from philanthropic foundations.
- Participants will also have the opportunity to submit a written concept note to an active funding opportunity.
- Here is a recording (passcode: CU?Ep4?7) from the Moonshot Cohort Information session that we hosted last week and today. A PDF version of the slides is attached as well.
- Additional information can also be found on the Moonshot Cohort flyer (attached).
