Get funds your poverty alleviation project!

D-Prize expands access to poverty-alleviation interventions in the developing world.Many solutions to poverty already exist. The challenge is distributing these solutions to the people who need it most. Our programs produce new "distribution entrepreneurs" - social entrepreneurs who start new ventures that distribute proven life-enhancing technologies to millions of people living in extreme poverty.

D-Prize supports new entrepreneurs who increase distribution of proven poverty interventions.The world has already invented products and services to end poverty, yet the best are not being distributed at mass-scale. If selected we will award you up to $20,000 USD to launch a pilot version of your new organization in any region where extreme poverty exists. The current challenges include social enterprises for innovations in specified themes of agriculture; energy; and several other categories. 

D-Prize is for aspiring entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world, of any age, and any background.We will consider funding existing organizations only if: you are piloting a new distribution-focused initiative, and you need high risk capital.
