The D-Prize Global Competition 2026 awards startup grants of up to $20,000 to entrepreneurs launching new organizations, including for-profit ventures, NGOs, and charities in low- or middle-income countries. It supports social impact interventions across a range of problem areas and is targeted at new organizations seeking to scale their initiatives.

Startup grants of up to $20,000; funding to implement a chosen poverty-alleviation intervention.

New organizations only; applicants from low- and middle-income countries are especially encouraged; organizations with more than 18 months of full-time operations or more than $30,000 raised are typically not supported.
