ABOUT THE D-PRIZE GLOBAL COMPETITION

D-Prize is proud to announce that the first D-Prize Global Competition of 2021 is LIVE and accepting applications from aspiring social entrepreneurs around the world! Join us and our growing community of 190+ Distribution Entrepreneurs.

D-Prize challenges bold new leaders to tackle distribution problems impeding development in countries where extreme poverty exists. This year, we are looking to award 30+ teams with up to $20,000 each to launch nonprofits or social ventures that can distribute proven poverty interventions to thousands, maybe even millions of people.

D-Prize is looking to find and fund high-potential problem solvers. We believe the idea candidate or candidate team is:

• Focused on distributing a proven poverty intervention in the fields of education, girls’ education, agriculture, energy, global health, and governance and infrastructure (see our challenges for more details)
• At the idea stage for starting a distribution venture or leading an organization (with a distribution component) that is less than 2 years old and has raised less than $30,000
• Prepared to launch a 3 month pilot with a long-term vision for scale and ready to have at least one founder working on the pilot full-time
• We apologize, but at this time we are only able to evaluate applications submitted in English. However, an applicant’s English need not be perfect, and grammar and vocabulary errors will not be penalized. We only want to understand the idea.
