Prevail Fund

<div>About Prevail Fund 
Prevail is a new foundation dedicated to catalyzing large-scale social change by supporting private philanthropists and field implementers to pursue more ambitious and impactful goals. We work with private philanthropists to fund specific initiatives for 10&ndash;12 years. Rather than diversifying across multiple causes, we prioritize goal-driven investments in proven solutions with the potential to reshape global norms. Our first fund aims to improve foundational education for over 27.5 million children across 11 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Prevail provides patient capital to implementers &ndash; primarily in the form of grants that grow over time as our partner organizations scale. In addition to funding, Prevail also offers a suite of systems and talent development services designed to address common growth barriers and prepare partner organizations for accelerated scale. In our first two years, we have:<ul><li>
Strengthened foundational learning outcomes for over 3 million children</li><li>
Provided $45M in funding to support 25 partners across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia</li><li>
Hired 30+ mission-driven team members globally</li></ul>
New Initiatives at Prevail
Prevail aims to launch a variety of funds over the next decade to tackle humanity&rsquo;s most pressing challenges. To achieve this, Prevail&rsquo;s New Initiatives team scans the horizon to assess promising initiatives across all areas of global development. To date, we have explored opportunities as diverse as neonatal healthcare, emergent climate technologies, and eyeglasses to improve livelihoods. Importantly, our team seeks to look beyond &quot;what works&quot; on paper to understand the &quot;why&quot; and &quot;how&quot; &ndash; identifying implementation bottlenecks and leverage points where Prevail&rsquo;s support could multiply impact at scale.
