    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. WaitList Zero staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.

    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $100,000 to WaitList Zero for general support. We previously recommended a $50,000 planning grant in 2014 and a $200,000 general support grant in 2015 to WaitList Zero. This new funding represents an “exit grant” that will provide WaitList Zero with approximately 18 additional months of operating support to allow them to secure other funding.
