- Innovate within one or more of the Fund’s three program areas;
- Demonstrate the potential to develop an actionable pilot or prototype with Prize funding; and
- Hold out the promise to benefit multiple individuals, communities, or sectors through a clearly articulated theory of change.
A first-round application will be made available on the JMKFund.org website on February 7 and will be open until April 28.
