Deadline: 17Th May 2026
D-Prize is a grant-funded nonprofit targeting extreme poverty.
They seed social impact organizations that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Most founders in low-and-middle income countries don’t have access to startup capital, and we provide philanthropic seed support so their ventures, NGOs, & charities can launch.
They care about evidence-based impact. The world already has cost-effective products & services targeting poverty, and we specifically seed organizations to distribute these at scale where there is still need. Our vision is to see existing high-impact poverty interventions made universally accessible.
Benefits
- Up to $20,000 in seed funding
- Average award of around $16,000
- Final-round interview via email and phone

Eligibility
New organizations only. Most awardees are first-time entrepreneurs who have not yet launched or raised outside funding.
-
We especially encourage applicants from low- and middle-income countries.

Orgs with more than 18 months of full-time operations or more than $30,000 USD raised typically not supported.
