We're committing $100,000 to fund experimental event formats that push the boundaries of privacy-first gathering.
The Zicket Community Grants Program will fund 20 projects over the next year. We're looking for organizers who want to try something new: events that couldn't exist without privacy guarantees, formats that challenge conventional ticketing assumptions, communities that need protection.
Grant sizes range from $1,000 for small experiments to $15,000 for ambitious multi-event series. We're especially interested in proposals from underrepresented regions and marginalized communities.
What we're NOT looking for: traditional events that just want free marketing. If your event would work fine on Eventbrite, it's probably not a fit.
What excites us: anonymous professional networks, privacy-preserving cultural gatherings, experimental governance formats, cross-border community building, and anything that makes us say "wait, you can do that?"
Applications open July 1st. We'll announce the first cohort by August 15th. All grantees get technical support from our team and access to beta features.
Privacy is a collective project. Let's build it together.
