Reddit pledged $1 million toward its Community Funds Program earlier this week, saying the goal is to back ideas that are creative, impactful and spark collaboration within and across communities.

The company will accept nominations for $1,000 to $50,000 in funding for projects and choose which ones to back based on community impact, creativity and feasibility.

The nomination process will kick off in June.

Reddit began a small-scale experiment with Community Funds last year, providing more than $60,000 in funding to 13 communities that resulted in projects including the r/askhistorians digital conference, a comics tournament and a community-designed billboard in Times Square.
