The First Dollar Fund

Sometimes the only thing between a person and their business is $250.

Micro-grants help graduates buy the one thing they need to start — a mower, a permit, the first supplies. Donors fund real people with real plans.

Pledge your support

Donations aren't open yet — but tell us you're in. No payment is taken now; we'll reach out when the Fund opens.

Donations are gated until the fund's structure, processor, and counsel review are complete.

The First Dollar Fund is administered under the operating entity's charitable rules. Grant decisions and any disbursement follow counsel-reviewed procedures. Nothing here is a guarantee of funding.
