Driving real-time impact
The world is a better place with more creators. Visionary creators are the catalyst for a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. The Unity for Humanity program uplifts, supports, and connects changemakers using real-time 3D to build a brighter future.
What is Unity for Humanity?
Unity for Humanity empowers creators to make the world a better place by helping bring their visions to life and amplifying their impact.
We provide financial support needed by creators to bring their projects to market.
We use our technical skills and expertise to help empower creators to realize their visions.
Publishing an experience isn’t the end of the road. We use our reach to help social impact projects connect with wider audiences and create lasting change.
We provide funding and technical support for RT3D impact projects.
We awarded a total of $500,000 USD, including a grant specifically awarded to a project that promotes holistic health for youth in alignment with Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation. Our 2025 Open Call for submissions will be announced towards the end of this year.
