How To Apply

Applications Closed for 2016

In Austin, finalists pitch for grant funding from Philanthropitch and possible acceptance into Mission Accelerator, a program of Mission Capital.

To qualify, an organization must be an established Central Texas 501c3 with an innovative solution to address a community need, and should have a clear vision and initial plan to significantly grow a program or service.

Applicants will be asked about their organization’s financial stability, track record of program success, and commitment to dramatically grow or scale. Applications are due by 11:59PM on March 22.

Selected semi-finalists will be invited to participate in the second stage of the selection process with interviews the week of April 4. Finalists will present their case at Philanthropitch Austin on May 2, where more than $100,000 will be awarded and the 2016 Mission Accelerator class will be selected.

If your nonprofit is ready to dramatically grow or scale one of your programs but needs the funding and guidance to bring your vision to life, consider applying for Philanthropitch!
