Youtopia has been an amazing success already, inspiring thousands of users to consider hundreds of great causes. And while only two grants will be given, our team is already working hard to connect like-minded applicants and seek funding for projects that we ourselves cannot fund. If you would like to suggest funding sources or offer funding yourself for additional grants, please contact us at youtopia@freerange.com. We'd love to hear your comments about the process so far. Feel free to contact us at youtopia@freerange.com and tell us how the next Youtopia grant can be more useful and exciting for your organization and networks.
