Expensify.org is Accepting Proposals, Awarding up to $100K to 10 Campaigns Fighting Injustice

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb 8, 2021–
Expensify.org, a 501(c)(3) charity with a fully transparent direct-giving model, seeks to award up to $100,000 in matching funds to ten grassroots movements that help create a fairer, more inclusive, and just world. Anyone can submit a proposal by April 30, 2021, but all proposals must focus on fighting injustice in one (or more) of five areas: climate, housing, hunger, reentry, and youth. A total of ten winners will be awarded matching funds to put their plans into action. Five winners will receive a minimum of $25,000, four will get at least $50,000, and one will receive at least $100,000.
“There are incredible people that are out in their communities every day, spending their own time and money, organizing to fight injustice,” says Puneet Lath, a Director at Expensify. “Expensify.org wants to partner with groups that have a high potential impact on complex social problems resulting from systemic injustice, then provide resources to help them attract more volunteers to further their causes.”
Expensify.org was founded one year ago with a mission to eliminate injustice around the world by making giving and volunteering more convenient, meaningful, and collaborative. The goal is to create transparency around how funds are spent by using Expensify.com’s receipt capture technology.
Campaign proposals will be voted on by Expensify.org donors and narrowed down to fund 10 projects in total. Once voting closes on June 1st, two winning proposals will be announced in each of the five funds.
Submit your proposal today to receive up to $100,000 in matching funds towards executing your project!
