Description
1) Objective
CASE awards the annual F. M. Kirby Prize for Scaling Impact to one social enterprise poised to scale their impact. Organizations looking for fundraising advice or to better understand the landscape of impact investing opportunities can access their toolkit on raising impact investment. It is an annual global prize of USD $150,000 in unrestricted funds that amplifies and accelerates the work of an enterprise working to scale its impact on social or environmental problems around the world.
The Kirby Prize recognizes enterprises pursuing strategic pathways to impact at scale, who are close to the challenges at hand, who center the voice and experience of the populations they serve, who have demonstrated traction, and who embody courageous and collaborative leadership. This prize is open to any legal form, geographic location, and any social or environmental impact area.
One social enterprise will be selected to receive a USD $150,000 unrestricted award. Unrestricted means that you determine the best way to allocate the funds within your organization, and you have the flexibility to pivot that they know is critical for learning, scaling organizations. Note that while we provide flexible funding, we look for applicants who will apply the funds to a strategy to achieve impact at scale (as opposed to filling a budget gap or pursing “business as usual”).
2) Eligibility
The F.M. Kirby Impact Prize is open to all impact enterprises (nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid), working anywhere in the world. Minimum operation budget of at least $250,000 USD. The strongest applications historically have an annual operating budget between $1-3 million USD.

Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The Prize is $150,000.
