The Out of Office Fund Microgrant

Helping creatives take intentional time away from work.

The Out of Office Fund is Off Worque’s microgrant program created to support creatives, entrepreneurs, and community builders with the financial freedom to step away, reset, and recharge.

This fall, we’re awarding three $500 microgrants to help individuals take a meaningful Day Off Worque, a day dedicated to rest, creativity, joy, and reconnecting with themselves.

Because rest isn’t something you earn after burnout. It’s part of the process.

Who Should Apply?

The Out of Office Fund is for:

  • Creatives, artists, and freelancers
  • Entrepreneurs and small business owners
  • Community builders and nonprofit leaders
  • Professionals who do not get unlimited PTO

You don’t need a large following, impressive title, or perfect story. We’re looking for people who believe in the importance of making space for rest.
