Applications are being accepted for the Mind & Life Institute's Contemplative Changemaking Grants, which encourage grassroots changemakers to use contemplative methods to address pressing community needs.

In order to make a genuine difference in people's daily lives, contemplative practices-based non-profit organisations, community workers, and individuals can apply for Contemplative Changemaking Grants. These grants are intended for small-scale, impact-oriented projects.

The Contemplative Changemaking Grants are an essential part of Mind & Life's mission to "inspire action towards flourishing," especially in light of the extraordinary challenges of the times. The impact of the grants—as well as the narratives that these projects will produce—will contribute to increasing awareness of and momentum for the contribution of contemplative practices to constructive social change.

With these grants, they hope to promote the spread of contemplative practices and the community's benefits beyond the individual. Proposals in a variety of broad areas are welcome, such as social inclusion, education, physical and mental health, economic empowerment, and civic engagement.
