Left Field Fund

Get Funded

Sometimes Incite Institute recieves pitches from left field—ideas that don't fit neatly into one of our programs, but are in line with our interests.

To support these pitches, we created the Left Field Fund, which seeds up to $5,000 to projects across the United States and world.
