NetGain Small Grants Fund
Deadline: 1/11/2021
Amount: $25,000–$100,000
Website: https://www.netgainpartnership.org/smallgrantsrfp
Description:
The scale of platforms’ influence and increasing number of harms to society continue to represent a considerable challenge for policymakers and civil society, where there is no single solution, but rather a number of different approaches and issues that have to be tackled in parallel. The fund will support projects that catalyze or build on ideas that emerged from NetGain years Four and Five around digital threats to democracy, mis/disinformation and public interest research on the platforms. This includes:
- Projects that investigate, reveal and/or explain the extent and impact of mis/disinformation facilitated by the platforms, or other projects that advance knowledge on societal harms caused by platform companies.
- Projects that provide policy, legal, public education or technological interventions as counterweights to growing platform power.
