The economic impact of COVID-19 has been devastating to many, and we at Bumble want to do what we can to help student organizations having a tough time raising funds for their cause or community.

We’ll be donating $5,000 to 10 student groups that align with Bumble’s values of kindness, respect, equality, inclusivity, courage, accountability, and growth. To apply, head over to Instagram or TikTok and upload a post explaining how your organization embodies those values. Then tell us what you’d do with the $5,000 if your group is selected. 

Tag us @Bumble and use the hashtag #BumbleStudentOrgFund to enter. Posts must be uploaded in-feed. Instagram stories will not count. Open to current US students aged 18-24. Posts must nominate an official, university sanctioned student organization or group. The deadline to submit a nomination is September 20th at 11:59pm (CST). 

10 entrants will be selected to receive $5,000 USD each.
