What is an Implementation Prize and who qualifies to compete?
Implementation Prizes may be considered a second phase to the solutions process after Design Prizes are awarded. In the first phase, a grant maker describes a Problem and posts a Design Prize with a Deadline. After a Design Prize is awarded to one or more members of the Philoptima Faculty, the grant maker may choose to fund a second phase; the Implementation Prize is thus created and posted on the basis of the winning Design Prize in phase one for which nonprofit organizations then compete. If you represent a nonprofit (IRS code section 501-c-3) organization in the United States, you may register on this site and receive Implementation Prize alerts. Monitor these alerts and if a Prize is posted for your community, you may wish to submit an Implementation Plan Proposal.
