Would you spend it on ridding the world of toxic dumps, building schools or saving an endangered species?
The new campaign, “100&Change”, will award a the grant to a single proposal designed to help solve a critical issue. The inaugural competition is open to organizations - individuals or government agencies need not apply - around the world. Each valid proposal will be reviewed by a panel of expert judges from a variety of fields.
Applicants must register by Sept. 2. They must complete an online application, detail the problem and solution, budget and include a video pitch. Proposals will be accepted through Oct. 3.
