Ambassador Grant: $100 to Spark Action

The Ambassador Grant is a small, fast grant to help you host a simple event, make a useful outreach piece, or kick off a campus initiative. It is meant to remove tiny roadblocks so you can get people moving.

What we fund

• Printing flyers, posters, and handouts

• Basic supplies for a tabling event or classroom visit

• Cleanup materials like gloves and bags

• Local transit or modest rideshare to and from the activity

• Small refreshments for volunteers, non-alcoholic only

• Simple props or materials for a short educational demo

What we do not fund

• Tuition, wages, or general stipends

• Alcohol, gift cards, or prizes with no learning value

• High-end gear or electronics

• Travel unrelated to the activity

• Projects without a clear plan or safety basics

Who should apply

• Students, club leaders, and community organizers

• People who can plan a small, clear action and follow through

• Coralite interns are welcome to apply, but Coralite status is not required and does not guarantee funding

What you deliver

• One short recap, 200 to 400 words, with what you did and why it mattered

• 5 to 10 photos or screenshots we can share

• Simple numbers, like attendance, items collected, or materials distributed

• A tag for our accounts when you post: @projectanchordown and our site

How to apply

How the money works

We can reimburse with receipts or make a direct purchase when possible. We will confirm what fits your plan so you can stay focused on the work.

How we choose

We look for a clear plan, a real audience, and a small outcome we can measure. Safety, accessibility, and community benefit matter.

Simple ideas we like

• A table on campus with a coral bleaching explainer and a sign-up for a local cleanup

• A mini “storm drain to reef” display for a science class

• A dorm-common-room workshop on reef-safe habits with take-home one-pagers

• A focused cleanup of one block with a quick data tally and map
