Hello.

Drop Dead Generous is a social experiment.

It's inspired by one simple thought;

What if we gave more than we took?

Because if more than half of us did this, then we'd be ok - us humans.

(Or a good way there, at least).

We of course encourage you to take less. It's a great idea.

But if giving is more your thing, then this experiment might be right up your street.

So what's the experiment?

Through our “$500 Do Something Drop Dead Generous Fund”, we’re handing out $500,000 in $500 grants to 1,000 people around the world.

All these grantees have to do is this;

1) Pay-it-forward through an act of kindness.

2) Be curious, creative and couragous as they do it.

And

3) Tell us how it went so we can tell the world.

We don't know what will happen. But it can only be good.

It's these grantees whose ideas and stories you can see, search for, and smile at here on this website.

And we're also sharing openly what we're learning as we go, both on Substack and on Instagram.

So if you want in then know this - you're welcome. Just click join the experiment and whoopla.

Once joined, you’ll get these few things;

A Grant Invitation - we'll email you a welcome pack with our application form inviting you to pitch an idea for a $500 grant. Successful or not, you'll hear back from us within a week.

Our Weekly Dispatches - these are written reflections centred around our Grantees' stories and exploring what it takes to give.

Some Bonus Content - think of this as extra stuff. We don't know what it will be but it will always be free.

‍As a UK based social enterprise, we're a with a team of 3 and a half - supported by a community of thousands.
