Amazon Catalyst Grants
Application deadline: None; applications accepted on rolling basis throughout year
Amazon and the University of Washington have collaborated to launch Amazon Catalyst, a new initiative to provide funding and mentor ship for projects from any discipline proposed by members of the UW community. Amazon Catalyst’s goal is to help people develop solutions to key problems faced in the world today.
Grants will be awarded for projects that take place over a period of several months to up to two years, and will range from $10,000 to $100,000 each with no overhead costs (100% of awarded funding goes to the applicants).

Awards are not limited to community members in the sciences and engineering – projects in the humanities, social sciences, arts, and virtually any discipline inside or outside the university will be considered. Projects do NOT need to have any correlation with Amazon or Amazon’s businesses so feel free to dream big about whatever it is that is your passion!
Proposals are reviewed in a three-step process: (i) an evaluation of the application by a member of the Amazon Catalyst organization, (ii) an in-person meeting with one or more members of the Amazon Catalyst Evaluation Committee to discuss the project in detail, and (iii) a final selection by vote of the Committee.
