Grant Description

The ICANN Grant Program is a funding opportunity for eligible organizations worldwide that align with ICANN's mission and objectives. The program aims to support the development, distribution, and evolution of services and systems that support the Internet's unique identifier systems, provide capacity development, advance innovation and open standards for the benefit of the Internet community, and contribute to diversity, participation, and inclusion across stakeholder communities and geographic regions. The program has a total fund of $217 million as of June 30, 2023, with $10 million available for grants in the first cycle. Applicants can request grant awards between $50,000 and $500,000 for projects with a maximum duration of 24 months. Eligible applicants must be charitable organizations that comply with relevant U.S. laws and regulations, have no conflicts of interest, meet due diligence standards, and have a bank account in the organization's name. Applicants can submit multiple applications but will only be awarded funding for one project in each grant cycle. Projects must align with ICANN's mission and should not duplicate previously funded activities. Applications will be evaluated by ICANN staff initially and then referred to an Independent Application Assessment Panel for further assessment. Grants will be disbursed in installments based on progress reports provided by grantees throughout the project duration. Grantees will also be required to submit a final report detailing project achievements and expenditures. Monitoring activities may include site visits or periodic reviews and evaluations conducted by ICANN staff.
