Applications Invited for the Audacious Project 2024

About the Organization

The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative catalyzing social impact on a grand scale. Every year we select and nurture a group of big, bold solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges, and with the support of an inspiring group of donors and supporters, come together to get them launched.

Housed at TED, the nonprofit with a long track record of surfacing ideas worth spreading, and with support from leading social impact advisor The Bridgespan Group, the funding collective is comprised of several respected organizations and individuals in philanthropy.

About the Grant

Are you a changemaker with a bold vision? Are you a non-profit with an experienced team equipped to receive large-scale philanthropic support? Is your idea a proven concept that aspires to create a better world?

We look for ideas that cover a wide range of issues, from global health and climate change, to social justice and education.

What makes an idea Audacious –

Inspire
  • Transformative vision: Your idea should capture a bold vision for tackling one of the world’s most urgent topics.
  • Creating a better world: It is your opportunity to take a giant leap forward; you may be tempted to think incrementally, but remember for it to be bold, your idea should offer significant, enduring impact. This vision should bring us much closer to your version of an ideal world in a matter of years rather than generations.
  • Innovative and original: There should be a unique aspect or creative element to your approach that challenges convention or status quo or changes the narrative for the greater good.
Convince
  • Proven concept: There should be evidence that the idea will have impact based on a track record of past success, a demand from those that would be affected, and justified confidence that results can be sustained in the future.
  • A bold vision that has clear outcomes: There should be a sense of where you will be at the end of a multi-year funding term and the strategy, resources and timeline required to achieve it. We want to hear about the changes that would take place because of your idea, not just the components that go into implementing it.
  • Established support: You and your capable and confident team have the backing of a nonprofit, NGO, or institution (or is part of a collaboration between multiple such entities). This organization should be able to receive philanthropic funds and have the core infrastructure necessary to support the work.

Who can Apply

Individuals, ages 18 and up, may apply on behalf of a nonprofit, NGO, institution or collaboration between multiple entities.

How to Apply

Each year, Audacious sources ideas through our open ideas survey and from a global network of partners and donors. Ideas can be submitted throughout the year and we review them on a rolling basis.

The deadline for ideas survey submissions to be considered for our current application cycle is March 15, 2024. Surveys received after the deadline will be considered in future application cycles.
