Today, thanks to a leap in philanthropy-backed competitions, large cheques are being written for the world&#8217;s best teacher, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.philanthropyage.org\/articles\/refugee-organisations-get-24-3m-funding-boost\/\">boldest refugee response<\/a>, and ideas to solve the climate crisis, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as more donors commit dollars towards prizes &#8211; and more nonprofits allocate time to competing for them \u2013 is it time to ask whether competitions really are an effective way to fund change?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is prize philanthropy supporting scale and innovation or simply creating headlines? And \u2013 most importantly &#8211; is the money really reaching those on the frontline of global challenges, or just reinforcing the status quo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To discuss these questions and more, we invited representatives from two of the world\u2019s best-known prize philanthropy initiatives to join us in the Impact Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cecilia Conrad is the CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leverforchange.org\/\">Lever for Change<\/a>, which creates bespoke prize competitions designed to match philanthropic capital to causes. She is also managing director at the MacArthur Foundation, the organisation behind the 100&amp;Change initiative that hands out $100m each year to a single proposal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edward MA is secretary-general of the Hong Kong-based Yidan Prize Foundation, the world\u2019s largest education prize fund. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yidanprize.org\/\">Yidan Prize<\/a>, which awards $4m annually, was launched in 2016 by the co-founder of Chinese tech firm Tencent, Dr Charles Chen Yidan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Impact Room is brought to you by Maysa Jalbout and Philanthropy Age.
