The D-Prize Global Competition is thrilled to announce its applications to support aspiring entrepreneurs to build new ventures that distribute proven solutions to people experiencing poverty.

The D-Prize Global Competition focuses on supporting new ventures that aim to distribute proven poverty solutions to millions of people. Eligible ventures address challenges in sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture, livelihoods, clean water, and public services. Key priority areas for ventures include enhancing access to education, improving healthcare delivery, supporting agriculture, creating sustainable livelihoods, providing clean water, and developing public services.

D-Prize provides seed capital of up to $20,000 USD to support a three-month pilot phase for selected ventures. Funding is specifically provided for a three-month pilot period of the venture. The competition primarily targets new organizations focused on distributing proven, evidence-based interventions.

Existing organizations may be considered if their core focus is the distribution of an existing and proven poverty intervention. D-Prize generally does not support organizations with more than 18 months of full-time operations or those that have raised over $30,000 USD in external funding. Applicants must be aspiring entrepreneurs committed to building new ventures full-time, specifically new organizations focused on distributing proven solutions. Prior company founding experience is not required.

D- Prize explicitly does not fund manufacturing, the development of new products, new inventions or ideas lacking credible evidence, organizations focused on multiple interventions where D-Prize funding would only support one project, personal or individual financial support such as scholarships or school fees, general community projects like building wells or schools, or prototypes of new or unproven interventions. Applications for the D-Prize Global Competition are now open. Prospective entrepreneurs are invited to apply to receive funding.
