DRK’S HOPE IS TO SUPPORT OUTSIZED IMPACT THROUGH ENTREPRENEURS AND ENTERPRISES
THAT CREATE A TRANSFORMATIONAL PARADIGM SHIFT TO MEANINGFULLY ADDRESS A PRESSING
SOCIETAL PROBLEM AFFECTING PEOPLE’S LIVES.

DRK Funds:

 * Organizations addressing a critical social or environmental issue as the
   focus of their work.
 * Founders who intend to expand their impact significantly over time.
 * Organizations operating in Africa, Europe, India, Latin America, and the
   United States.
 * Independent nonprofit and impact first, mission-driven for-profit entities,
   including US 501(c)3 and its non-US equivalents, C corporations, B
   corporations, and hybrid organizations. 
 * Fiscally sponsored organizations in select cases where there is a plan to
   spin out (in our experience, independence creates stronger enabling
   conditions for growth).
 * Post-pilot, pre-scale organizations. This typically means: 
   —Your program, product or service is already in the market or in the field. 
   —You have early indication that your model is having its intended impact.
   —Your organization is 3-5 years old (this is not a rule, but a guidepost).
 * Organizations with one or more founders who are full-time or intend to be.
   —We believe that full-time leadership from the organization’s founder(s) is
   critical to an early stage organization’s growth. 
   —We recognize that going full-time requires resources that you may still be
   putting together, and if that is the case we are happy to start a
   conversation with you in the meantime.
 * We value diversity of people proximate to the problem at hand and a
   commitment to foster justice, equity, inclusion, and belonging practices.

DRK Prioritizes:

 * Evidence of focused alignment, systemic social change, data-based decision
   making.
   
 * Leaders who are continually learning and iterating and welcome a deep working
   relationship with DRK for 3 years. Leaders who intimately understand the
   opportunity and the communities they serve. Leaders committed to advancing
   justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging for all.
   
 * Organizations who are designed to realize their impact at scale.  

DRK Does Not Fund:

 * Idea or pre-pilot stage organizations. 
 * Organizations that do not plan to expand or scale their impact to achieve
   their mission.
 * Projects housed within an established, mature organization (unless there is a
   plan to spin out).
 * Awareness or field building campaigns.
 * Organizations whose sole focus is the development of research.
 * Programs promoting religious doctrine.
 * US 501(c)4 organizations.
