Prevail is a new foundation dedicated to pursuing bold goals. We set a social change goal, find philanthropists who have a similar vision, raise a pooled fund, and then make grants. Rather than choosing a general issue area (e.g., education), each pooled fund chooses a simple, targeted goal. Provided $55M in funding to date, to support 27 partners across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Helped partners to strengthen foundational learning outcomes for over 3 million children. Hired 35+ mission-driven team members. Executed dozens of in-field projects to help support key functions for our implementing partners.
