D-Prize funds new entrepreneurs who increase
access to proven poverty interventions.
The world has already invented ways to end poverty, yet the best interventions are not being distributed at mass-scale. Can you design a business or NGO that solves one of the Distribution Challenges below?
If selected we will award you up to $20,000 to launch a pilot in any region where extreme poverty exists.
ELIGIBILITY
