We want to jumpstart high-reward ideas—moonshots in many cases—that advance prosperity, opportunity, liberty, and well-being. We welcome the unusual and the unorthodox.
Projects will either be fellowships or grants: fellowships involve time in residence at the Mercatus Center in Northern Virginia; grants are one-time or slightly staggered payments to support a project.
Think of the goal of Emergent Ventures as supporting new ideas and projects that are too difficult, too hard to measure, too unusual, too foreign, too small, or…too something to make their way through the usual foundation and philanthropic process.
Here’s the first cohort of grant recipients. I think your project would fit what they’re looking for, and it’s a pretty low cost to apply.
Check out Tyler Cowen’s Emergent Ventures.

For sure. Also check with Tyler before applying because there’s some stuff he definitely won’t fund (and he replies to his email).
