Other Info D-Prize is a grant-funded nonprofit targeting extreme poverty. We 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. We 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.
