Overview
<div>100&Change is our competition for a $100 million grant to fund a single proposal that promises real and measurable progress in solving a critical problem of our time. We consider proposals from any field or problem area. </div> <div></div> <div>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.</div>
