Application
We award mission vendor contracts ranging from $3,000 to $30,000. Apply below.
We believe there is overinvestment in the Three Ps—politics, policy, and punditry—and underinvestment in creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
If you fit one of those latter descriptions, we’re interested in seeing your proposal.
However, before you proceed, we would like to emphasize a couple of key points. Any Human Respect Labs project proposal should either:
Communicate the Philosophy of Human Respect, or
Liberate people from coercive institutions (we call that Applied Human Respect).
Given our desire to see more investment in these, we have devised Six General Categories.
Content Creators. Use video to help us establish a culture of Human Respect.
Communicators. Write a script or book that helps people imagine a world of HR.
Innovators. Pitch tech projects promising to displace compulsion or advance HR.
Strategists. Present us with a PR, social media, or strategic plan to advance HR.
Entrepreneurs. Pitch MVPs that create value and hold liberatory potential.
Community Builders. Create event opportunities that reinforce HR principles and applications.
Our General invitation is for you to submit and pitch a proposal that includes one of the six. Otherwise, we develop requests for proposals (RFPs) to find teams for projects we want to bring to life.
Eligibility
We encourage individuals and small teams to apply. Only organizations with an annual revenue of less than $750,000 are eligible to apply.
Directions to Apply
Apply here for General proposals (not Specific RFPs).
