FAST COMPANY – Hinge is launching a $1M social impact fund to address the loneliness epidemic among its Gen Z users. The fund will provide grants of $10 – $25K to groups in Atlanta, LA and New York City to create in-person connection opportunities for young adults. This initiative, led by Hinge's first social impact director, Josh Penny, aims to encourage users to form platonic relationships and engage in social activities. The grant applications will be open from Jan 8 to 30, with recipients announced in mid-Apr.
