⚠️ Important Note: If you have received any messages asking you for payment regarding our grants, this is fraudulent and should be reported. There are no fees associated with our grants and we will never contact you directly on social media.
If you received the message on social media, please report the account as fraudulent to the platform where you received the message. Find instructions on how to do this via Facebook here. You may also report the scam directly to the Federal Trade Commission and to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. Please submit a report via our contact page with any information you can (such as email addresses, websites, or social media accounts belonging to the scammers) so that we can take action as well.
