What is the Glow Growth Program?

The growth program is our global initiative to help organisations grow by removing the cost barriers to high-quality research.

 

We’re releasing 100 million credits through targeted grants that provide access to Glow’s integrated survey platform - so more people can make smarter, faster, insight-led decisions.

 

This program includes:

 

 

Each grant supports a different professional community - but all share one goal: unlocking growth through data.

No software fees. No hosting costs. Just decision-ready data, on us.*

*Grants provide full software access and a credit package covering the software cost of survey responses, valued at up to $20k. Panel costs and Glow services are not included in the grant.

Who are the grants for?

Glow’s Growth Program supports three communities of insight-driven professionals:

 

The Research Accelerator Grant

  • Launching July 2025 (Australia & UK)
  • Designed to support professional researchers dealing with time constraints, rising costs and shrinking margins
  • Use credits to offer quick-turn and other research solutions, protect profitability and win new briefs

 

The Academic Access Grant (2026)

  • Supporting educators and students with free access to professional-grade research tools
  • Credits support survey-based data collection for coursework, thesis projects, or faculty-led studies

 

The Sustainability Discovery Grant (2026)

  • For businesses and not-for-profits advancing the ESG agenda.
    • Performing commercial sustainability research using Glow’s proprietary sustainability metric - Social Responsibility Score® (SRS)
    • Producing and publishing new research relating to sustainability
  • Use credits to interrogate sentiment, test sustainability messaging, assess reputation, or engage stakeholders on key issues
  • Access to the SRS metric along with industry benchmarks, to help develop robust sustainability business cases

 

Why we're doing it?

Glow’s mission is to democratise access to insights. We believe quality data powers smarter decisions, stronger strategies, and better outcomes - for businesses, communities, and the planet.

We know how hard it is to build capability without the space to innovate and the time to think. So we developed the Glow Growth Program to help researchers, sustainability leaders, and academics gather more insights, in less time, and with fewer constraints, by removing a key barrier - the cost of research software.

What's in it for us?

We’re making a bet  - that if we give capable teams the tools and time to explore what’s possible, they’ll see the value of using Glow for the long term.


This is a win-win: businesses get the opportunity to conduct research without cost, and Glow gets the opportunity to earn a spot in your research toolkit.

FAQs

Who is eligible?
Grants are open to businesses operating within the community and market specified on the grant application page and issued on a first-come, first-served basis up to the grant allocation.  If you do not meet grant criteria, you may apply, but allocation of a grant will be at Glow’s sole discretion, and you may not get support from Glow’s onboarding and insights team. 
I’m already a Glow customer. Can I apply?

Yes you can. Holders of an existing Glow account can apply per the normal process, but the application will need to be submitted by the Glow account owner. Not sure if you are the account owner? Reach out to your account manager.  

What is a credit package?

A credit package is an amount of hosting credits - the currency you use to run surveys on Glow. 1 credit enables you to capture 1 response (completed survey). For example, a survey with 200 respondents would use 200 credits. Learn more about hosting credits here. 

Credit packages for the Research Accelerator Grant are allocated in 3k, 5k, 10k and 20k amounts based on the recipient’s intended usage over the next six months. 

Why is the time period up to 6 months?

Credit packages are valid for use for 6 months from the date of activation, subject to providing feedback to Glow at the 3-month mark.

Feedback means completing a short survey and attending a 15-minute feedback meeting.

If you do not provide feedback when requested, Glow reserves the right to cancel the grant and remove any remaining grant credits from your account.  

 

How do I use the credits?

Once approved, you’ll be notified of your credit allocation and provided with instructions on how to activate your credits within your Glow account. 

Once activated, your grant credits will be added to your credit balance on the home page of your account.
