How fast will I hear back?
we aim for urgency to match your spontaneity. expect to hear from us within 48 hours of applying, unless stated otherwise
What kinds of side-quests/adventures get funded?
We love: last-min events (hackathons, conferences, competitions), spur-of-the-moment projects, meetups, mini-documentaries, solo travel with a purpose, building or sharing something that *changes* you We don’t fund: vacations for the sake of chilling ( I feel you tho), startups, school projects or existing obligations
Do I need to document the journey?
yes, but not perfectly. bring your phone, scribble in a notebook, take voice notes-whatever helps you reflect and share what happened. we’ll use it to build The Archive map of side quests :)
Can I apply with a friend or as a group?
absolutely. just make sure your application reflects the shared story and how funds will be used. only person should apply.
What if I can't pay the deposit?
We require a refundable deposit to encourage follow-through on documenting your experience. Once you complete your quest and submit your reflections, your deposit will be fully returned. We aim to make this process as inclusive as possible; if the deposit is a barrier, email thearchivefund@gmail.com with the subject: [YOUR FULL NAME] - documentation deposit inquiry.
