NWN Community Investments Grant Program

NWN Community Investments Grant Program is sponsored by NextWorldNow Community Investments (NWN). The NextWorldNow Community Investments (NWN) is accepting grant applications to provide resources for projects defined by local leaders to improve the lives and well-being of the people in the community.

Underwriting Community Well-being: NextWorldNow (NWN) holds that world communities can work together in an informed and personal way, leveraging technology and resources, to improve the well-being of participants in each community. We invest in and support community development projects requiring modest capital.

We fund projects that are owned by the local community, whose social impact and return on investment can be measured, and whose success can be sustained. In the spirit of innovation, we aim for a diverse "portfolio" of projects and geographies to spread creative solutions. We work to discover and apply best practice social investment models on a small scale personal level.

Our process invites ongoing direct connection with the sponsored community rather than an anonymous one-time donation. We believe it is possible to invest in projects that increase the wellbeing of communities while avoiding unintended harm. We operate with minimal overhead and a goal of funneling nearly 100% of grant resources to the intended community project.
