We work exclusively with youth-led nonprofits, meeting you at the pivotal moment in college when vision is high but support is scarce. We provide consistent funding, mentorship, and community for the rest of your college journey.
We’re grateful for your interest in joining TRIIBE.
Instead of a pitch deck, please submit a short video (up to 5 minutes) describing:
1. What motivates your work? (Your Why)
2. How have you made a difference? (Your Impact)
3. How would you use your first grant? (Your Pitch)
To apply, complete the application form on this page, attaching your 5-minute video link. You’ll receive confirmation once your application has been received.
Our program is open each semester to sophomores enrolled at U.S. colleges, no matter their citizenship, addressing needs in food, water, shelter, health, education, or energy.
Our process starts with a thoughtful review of your application and video, then invites semi-finalists for interviews.
Finalists receive a $5,000 grant, mentorship, podcast feature, and entry into our community. For a fuller look at additional opportunities, like the Summit, retreat, and documentaries, see the 1-pager above.
TRIIBE’s three-year program supports you through the rest of college, with each year building toward continuing your work beyond graduation. Afterwards, alumni stay connected, ensuring lifelong belonging and support.
All applicants are notified within two weeks of the application closing, and we keep communication clear and consistent throughout.
