Meta is looking to fund projects that make use of Llama 3.1, which is the company’s latest LLM model. Proposals developed with the most captivating uses of Llama 3.1 that are beneficial for society will be considered. The Llama 3.1 Impact Grants Program has been built upon previous Llama Impact Grants programs such as the Llama 2 and Llama 3. These grants focused on issues about the environment, education, and worldwide challenges as well as promoting open innovation.

The previous grant programs received more than 800 applications across 90 countries. The runners-up and finalists were also provided mentoring, community and support.

Llama 3.1 Impact Grants Program and its Application Process

There are currently two different ways to apply for the Llama 3.1 Impact Grants. Those interested can either opt for an open call or regional events. The open call invites permitted organisations globally to apply and win up to $5000,000 in funding for projects.

Meta will also be hosting events all over the world and mentor and guide selected applicants. The events will have themes surrounding local stakeholders who want to uphold or shine a spotlight on them. Some of these themes include health technology, agriculture, cultural preservation and more. A monetary award of $100,000 will be offered. Participants who have won in the regional events will also be in the running for the open call.

Interested individuals and groups can apply for the grant through Meta’s portal and applications will be closed on November 22, 2024.
