Funding Friday...
Tech for Good - Issue 93
Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone amazing! I ended up taking last week off from the newsletter since I was out in the field for some work with my team at Glean Asia. This week I am back with five new funding opportunities for your work in technology and innovation.
At Glean Asia we are refining our digital tools and platforms. We’ve been hard at work finalizing our digital funding and project tools, and I’m so excited that we are going to get these launched in Q1 of this year! Please let me know if you’d like early access to help us test!
As always, if you have a funding opportunity you’d like me to share, please send me an email at: jesse@glean.net.
Have a wonderful weekend!
