We have a responsibility to create a sustainable future using the countless environmental benefits of drone and robotic capture technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are replacing heavy machinery, costly airplanes and countless car trips with automated data collection. Aerial robotics are transforming the way businesses collect, manage and interpret reality capture data.

$75,000 UAV Grants to Solve Community Challenges

The Resilient Futures Technology Grant Program will enhance outcomes for underresourced populations by prioritizing advocacy, safety, and efficiency through reality capture technology and help all communities have the necessary resources to build a resilient future.

Unrestricted funding grants from $10,000 to $20,000 will support organizations exploring innovative and novel approaches that improve the built and natural environment, where reality capture technology is inherent in the solution. Examples include:

  • Disaster preparedness or recovery
  • Climate resilience and adaptation
  • Food security and sustainable agriculture
  • Environmental pollution monitoring
  • Indigenous land rights and safety

Chosen solutions will directly benefit individuals or communities that experience inequities related to environmental conditions and the distribution of resources. These inequities may be due to socioeconomic status, demographic characteristics, or other systemic societal issues. Organizations may choose to use unrestricted funds furnished to their organizations for drones, cameras or other tools to aid in capturing data.
