D-Prize Challenge for Social Entrepreneurs

Deadline: November 27, 2022

D-Prize seeds new ventures that distribute proven poverty interventions.
The world has already invented products and services to end poverty. Yet we have found many proven interventions with large delivery gaps. Millions of people still don’t have access to basic poverty-fighting tools.

Can you design a new business or NGO that delivers a proven poverty intervention at scale? Submit your design for a new organization that solves one of our Distribution Challenges below. We will award the most promising teams with up to $20,000 USD to launch their new organization wherever extreme poverty exists.

D-Prize is also open to any business model (for-profit, non-profit, and everything in between).
All winners will be awarded up to $20,000. The award is offered in the form of a convertible
