These challenges stretch beyond borders and across cultures. They demand our collective attention and best thinking to overcome them.
With this program, GHR Foundation—in collaboration with OpenIDEO—is seeking out and investing in the building and repairing of unique bridges between people, organizations, issues, and beliefs to promote meaningful engagement, greater social cohesion, and sustainable, community-led change.
Give us a simple version of your idea.
We'll give you tools to test your idea.
Up to US$1 Million are provided each year between the Top Ideas.
GHR is looking for new and unlikely partners to support and elevate.
Submissions are welcome from registered nonprofit, civil society, community-based, and for-profit organizations working anywhere in the United States or around the world. Ideas must touch on two or more of the topic areas (peace, prosperity, planet) to create new and unique encounters between people, issues, and beliefs, promoting meaningful engagement, greater social cohesion, and sustainable, community-led change.
Ideas should center on action and tangible results in their communities of focus rather than research, convenings, policy development, or advocacy. We are seeking ideas with timelines up to 36 months and budget requests of less than US$500,000.
