Sustainable Vision grants

Sustainable Vision grants fund educational programs in which technologies are created and commercialized to benefit people living in poverty. Since 2006, over 50 grants have been made to innovate, commercialize, and distribute technologies in the US and 30 countries throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Grantees have access to funding and rigorous venture development support including workshops, mentoring, and a network of advisors, entrepreneurs, faculty, and students. The 2011 submission deadline has closed.
