Garden Grants is our funding program that supports de-risking of new, big-if-true ideas in climate biotech. By providing up to $200k of risk-tolerant funding per project and quickly finalizing awardee decisions within two months of the application close date, Garden Grants helps ideas get off the ground.
Beyond fast funding, Garden Grants facilitates learning and collaboration by publicly sharing the problems that proposals address while protecting applicants’ novel ideas. Proposals have two parts:
- The Problem Statement describes the motivating factor, specific constraint, and actionable goals that the project addresses. In the spirit of growing knowledge and community, problem statements are made public.
- The Solution Statement describes the the proposed work to address the Problem Statement. To protect applicants’ ideas, Solution Statements are kept confidential.
