**1M Talent Grant

Thanks for your question. The “Work Together Talent Grant Program” was an initiative designed to support projects geared toward lessening COVID-19’s impact on individuals, communities, and economies. The grants offered an Upwork credit of up to $25,000. In total, we awarded $1 million USD in grant money.

Are grant applications still open? 

Hi FIRSTNAME, all 40 grant recipients have been selected. We received thousands of applications and there were many worthy projects. We appreciate your interest.

Does this mean my project wasn’t chosen?

Hi FIRSTNAME, all 40 grant recipients have been selected. We received thousands of applications and there were many worthy projects. We appreciate you taking the time to submit.

Why wasn’t my project chosen?

Hi FIRSTNAME, we truly appreciate you taking the time to submit your project, but as we received over 4,000 applications, we unfortunately can’t provide individual feedback.

Will there be more grants in the future?

Hi FIRSTNAME, while we do not have any immediate plans for future Work Together grants, the Upwork Foundation occasionally offers grants. Please visit https://www.upwork.com/ppc/foundation/ for more information.

Where can I see a list of the recipients?

Hi FIRSTNAME, you can learn more about the Work Together Grant recipients here: https://www.upwork.com/worktogether

If all 40 recipients have been chosen, why aren’t there 40 projects on the website?

Hi FIRSTNAME, while all 40 projects have been selected, we are still working with the remaining recipients to finalize their grants. Stay tuned to the Work Together Grant website for the latest updates: https://www.upwork.com/worktogether
