MacArthur Foundation
Description
MacArthur
announced it will launch a new round of its 100&Change competition for a
single $100 million grant to help solve one of the world's most critical social
challenges.
Some
problems cannot be solved by grants of the size that foundations typically
provide. By funding at a level far above what is typical in philanthropy, we
can address problems and support solutions that are radically different in
scale, scope, and complexity. $100 million is a large enough sum to focus on a
serious problem and its solution in a meaningful and lasting way. We hope that
100&Change can inspire a conversation about solutions and about how we can
solve some of our most significant problems.
The
openness of 100&Change is a counterbalance to the Foundation's Big Bets
which strive for transformational impact in areas identified by the
Foundation's board and staff. We recognize that we do not know it all and
designed 100&Change to be agnostic with respect to field or problem
area.
We
seek proposals that articulate both a problem and its solution. Competitive
proposals will address a significant problem and provide a solution that is
impactful, evidence-based, feasible, and durable.
