“Philanthropy is the market for love. It is the market for all those people for whom there is no other market coming.” - Dan Pallotta

The feeling of giving is often more rewarding than the feeling of receiving. Philanthropists across the country understand this sentiment. 

Many people embrace the spirit of giving and do highly impactful philanthropic work without pay.

To financially support the many contribution-oriented people in this world, Bold.org is awarding the National Philanthropy Day Grant to a dedicated and passionate giver. 

To apply for the scholarship, you will need to write about your philanthropic work, the challenges you’ve encountered, and how you plan to use the grant to further your work. 

Bold.org will be awarding a scholarship each day in November to celebrate National Scholarship Month. Follow along on Bold.org's Instagram and TikTok for daily announcements of scholarships and winners!
