Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Sony Electronics Inc.

Sony Electronics Inc., through Alpha Universe, has supported grassroots nonprofits with CREATE ACTION, a grant program designed to amplify local organizations through funding, storytelling and collaboration with Sony. The program has focused on smaller nonprofit organizations serving underserved and underrepresented communities, providing selected groups with grant funding, Sony products and promotional storytelling support. In the funding ecosystem, CREATE ACTION fills a communications and capacity gap for organizations whose work deserves visibility but whose budgets do not support professional media production. Cash grants can support program operations, while camera equipment and custom promotional content help organizations document impact, reach supporters and make social issues more visible. Sony s model is especially useful for nonprofits working in social justice, community development, arts, education or youth engagement, where strong storytelling can unlock additional donors, volunteers and public support beyond the initial grant.
