Description

The Audacious Project, housed at TED, accepts bold social-impact ideas on a rolling basis through its open ideas survey. Applicants may be individuals aged 18 or older applying on behalf of a nonprofit, NGO, institution, or collaboration. The organisation or initiative should have an annual operating budget of at least US$2 million, a proven concept, an experienced team, and a transformative multi-year vision capable of receiving large-scale philanthropic support. Audacious reviews submissions throughout the year; selected candidates are invited into deeper application, vetting and proposal-development stages before finalists are presented to donors. There is currently no fixed deadline for upcoming cycles.
