Self-Eligibility Criteria

Overview

Before receiving funding through the Glow program, all contributors must confirm their eligibility by answering a series of questions designed to ensure compliance with program requirements and regulations.

Eligibility Checklist

As part of the application process, contributors must verify the following criteria:

Age Verification

• You are at least 18 years of age.

• The Glow program is not available to minors.

Geographic Restrictions

• You are not located in, and are not a resident or national of:

  • Syria

  • Iran

  • Cuba

  • North Korea

  • The Crimea, Donetsk People's Republic, or Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine

Sanctions Compliance

• You are not on any sanctions list.

• You are not acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any person on a sanctions list.

• You are not the target of any sanctions laws.

Independence Disclosure

• Glow funds independent work — contributions made outside the scope of your employment — and is not intended to compensate anyone for work performed as part of their day job.

• You'll be asked whether the contribution you're submitting is independent of your employment:

  • Yes — this work was done independently of any job or paid role

  • No / Partly — this work overlaps with your employment or a paid role

• If you answer No or Partly, you'll briefly describe the overlap (the employer or role, and how the contribution relates to it). This disclosure is shown to voters, who weigh that context when deciding. Disclosing an overlap does not disqualify your contribution.

Role Conflict Check

• You are not a Scout or Judge in the Wave for which you are submitted.

Contribution Recency

• The contribution was made within the last 6 months.

Funding Status

• The contribution has not already been funded through Glow or another program.
