100andChange is ready to fund a feasible, evidence-based, impactful, and long-lasting solution.
Solving society’s biggest problems is not easy, but it can be done. 100&Change is a MacArthur Foundation competition for a $100 million grant to fund a single proposal that will make measurable progress toward solving a significant problem. 100&Change will select a bold proposal that promises real progress toward solving a critical problem of our time. And it will award a $100 million grant to help make that solution a reality. Proposals focused on any critical issue are welcome.
Registration closes on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. Central. Applications will be accepted through 11:00 a.m. Central on Tuesday, August 6, 2019. The Top 100 will be selected in February 2020 and Finalists in the spring of 2020. During the spring and summer of 2020, finalists will work with an expert team to strengthen their proposals, present a preliminary plan for monitoring and evaluation and learning, and show authentic engagement with communities of interest before submitting revised project plans.
