Grant for Projects Advancing Child Survival Solutions in Mississippi (USA)
GrantID: 74833
Grant Funding Amount Low: $150,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $250,000
Summary
This global challenge invites anyone—individuals, nonprofits, for-profits, academic institutions, or government entities—to craft proposals that genuinely work toward saving the lives of children under age five. While applications may come from around the world, the prize funds must be used strictly for charitable purposes aligned with the contest’s goals.
Past offerings have included a significant award—such as $150,000—for a compelling project focused on infrastructure or interventions that directly address child mortality. The emphasis is on real-world impact and measurable outcomes, with submissions best designed as ready-to-execute plans grounded in evidence and scalability.
The process unfolds in three stages. The first stage starts with an accessible entry form to introduce your idea. If selected, you'll be invited to submit an in-depth proposal with detailed materials, such as budgets, evidence of impact, and media. Finalists then participate in a Q&A round with the judging panel, after which a winner is chosen.
Applicants should highlight how their plan will save lives among young children—preferably by making them reach age five who otherwise wouldn’t have. Demonstrating strong evidence, scalability, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and ease of verifying results is essential. You may even use proxies for mortality (like morbidity), but only if you clearly justify how they relate to actual survival in your target community.
In essence, this opportunity empowers scientifically grounded, high-impact interventions designed to curb child mortality. It supports bold, well-documented plans that are poised to save lives—and encourages sharing those stories to inspire broader support and action.
If you are located in Mississippi and working in the area of International, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
