If you are interested in applying for Terraformation's Accelerator Program you can start the process from within Terraware by clicking the "Start New Application" button on your home page.
The application process is composed of multiple steps and designed so that you can save your progress and return to finish whenever you need. We estimate that the application will take about 90 minutes to complete.
Pre-screen
The first step in the application process is called the pre-screen. Completing this step will help us evaluate whether your project is potentially eligible for the Accelerator. The pre-screen has two primary components: a project boundary map, and a questionnaire that asks some basic questions about your project proposal.
To submit a map of your project's boundary you can either upload a shapefile, KML/KMZ, or GeoJSON file that contains your site boundaries, or you can draw your site's boundaries using our map drawing tool.
Depending on the characteristics of your site's boundaries (country, biome, size, etc) and the answers to the additional questions your pre-screen will be automatically approved or rejected. Our program has very high standards for a project and unfortunately we cannot accept every viable project. If rejected, you will receive the reasons why and you are welcome to make factual clarifications or corrections and re-submit.
If your pre-screen is accepted you will then get access to the full application.
Full Application
If your pre-screen is approved you will be granted access to the full application. The full application requires more in depth details about all aspects your proposed project. The full application is divided into five separate categories which can be completed independently: "General", "Proposed Restoration Activities", "Stakeholder and Community Impact", "Financial", and "Supplemental Files". Once every section of the full application is completed you can submit the application for review. Our team of experts will review the application and provide feedback once we have finished reviewing. You may be asked for additional details about some of your answers as well.
