Luminate is a global foundation that funds existing organizations to collaborate and come up with new solutions and initiatives for advocacy work. It supports work that aims to improve the inclusivity of political and civic life while removing barriers. It also offers early-stage support and seeding solutions.
What makes this program more exclusive is that Luminate does not accept unsolicited proposals. Instead, it reaches out to potential partners itself by identifying the strongest opportunities to scale. Eligible startups receive $100,000 in initial funding as well as coaching from industry leaders and Luminate staff. The top companies in the accelerator receive an additional $2 million in funding.
