Before each event, we receive around 400 applications from advocates worldwide seeking financial support. We aim to bring as many people as possible while offering reasonable awards.

In 2024, Travel Awards will be available at two levels: Regular ($1,000) and Large ($1,600). Our regional events often offer a smaller option ($500). However, with limited funding, we can only allocate about $130,000 per event (100-130 awards), meaning over 65% of applicants will be rejected.

​

We prioritize high-impact applicants:

• who were accepted last year but couldn't attend due to visa issues

• who are members from the BIPOC community

• who are working for an organization with a budget under $500k (or lower, depending on the region of the Summit)

• whose personal income is under $50k (or lower, depending on the region of the Summit)

• who are the sole representative from an organization

• who are the sole representative from a country

• who are speaking at the Summit
   

Applicants have low chances to receive a Travel Award if they:

• work for a large and/or well-funded organization

• travel a shorter distance
   

Please keep in mind that we receive a lot more applications than we can accept, due to limited funding.
