DIV Fund: Innovations Tackling Global Poverty

Supports solutions with the potential to cost-effectively improve the lives of millions of people living in poverty around the world. We aim to serve as a discovery engine for global development, building a pipeline of evidence-driven innovations that drive impact at scale.
The DIV Fund supports innovators and researchers piloting, rigorously testing, and scaling ways to meaningfully and measurably improve the lives of people living in poverty. We are deliberately open to all kinds of innovations, operating across all sectors, with potential to impact the lives of millions of people when delivered at scale.
The proposed work must focus on addressing challenges in eligible low- and middle-income countries in line with the World Bank’s income classifications.
Funding: Stage 1 grants of up to $200,000 total; Stage 2 grants of up to $500,000; and Stage 3 grants of up to $1.5 million.
These are ceilings – actual amounts depend on the scope and needs of each proposal.
