Block, Inc. Discovery Grant Application

Block, Inc. (formerly Square, Inc.) created the Discovery Grant to help support nonprofit organizations working to make financial education — fiat and/or bitcoin — open and available to historically under-resourced communities worldwide. The grant is open to all established programs, no matter the size, that focus on strengthening economic access. 

We review Discovery Grant applications on a rolling basis. If your program is a potential fit, we’ll follow up with you directly. However, given the volume of applications, we’re not able to offer a timeframe for responses. 

If Block selects your program for a Discovery Grant, we’ll be in touch. We’ll also announce winners publicly at a later date.


All responses are required. Please limit responses to 500 words/3000 characters.
