Hank Green has announced a new grant programme via the VidCon Twitter account.
"There are so many independent creators making amazing stuff who might just need that little boost." – @hankgreen
We're so excited to be kicking off our Emerging Creator Grant Program next week! #VidConGrants pic.twitter.com/OkPnIDTEQk

The grant is a one-off $2000 sum and this is to be given to a different small creator once a week to help them to raise their content and increase their audience. The grant is currently only available to US creators.
Announcements officially begin next week although it would appear that some have already been told they are to be awarded it.
So happy to have been chosen as a recipient of one of the #VidconGrants! Thank you @VidCon for helping creators pursue their dreams ❤️
