D-Prize Challenge 2023 for Social Entrepreneurs to fight Poverty

The D-Prize Challenge 2023 for Social Entrepreneurs to fight Poverty aims to bridge the gap between proven poverty interventions and those in need by launching new ventures that distribute these interventions. Through its efforts, D-Prize strives to place existing solutions in the hands of those who need them most. The challenge is worth up to $USD 20,000.

The D-Prize Challenge 2023 for Social Entrepreneurs offers suitably qualified applicants the chance to create a design for a new organization that implements a poverty intervention on a large scale. Submit your proposal to one of the Distribution Challenges and you could be awarded up to $20,000 USD to get your organization started and deliver your solution to people living in poverty.
