100andchange.com is the official website for the 100&Change公益融资竞赛 initiated by the US-based MacArthur Foundation. This competition is held every few years, and its third round of review opened in 2024. Its core goal is to select one project that solves a major global public issue, provide a total of $100 million in funding, and drive measurable, substantive change. The winner of this round has been announced as the Sentinel project, which is dedicated to transforming infectious disease surveillance and response.
This competition is divided into 8 stages, running from May 2024 to the end of 2025. The stages include organizational readiness self-assessment, registration and application submission, participatory peer review, expert panel review, final candidate selection, project refinement, and final review & award announcement. The review process uses five core criteria: impact, feasibility, sustainability, evidence support, and equity, and adds new requirements for diversity, equity, and inclusion compared to previous rounds. Projects are required to deliver equal benefits to different groups.
Aside from government agencies and individuals, any non-government legal entity from around the world is eligible to apply. Joint applications from multiple organizations are permitted, and there are no restrictions on the project's field of focus.
The biggest advantage is the extremely high funding amount, which is more than enough to support the implementation of large-scale solutions to complex problems. The review process has also become relatively open and transparent after multiple rounds of iteration, and it is completely open to all project fields. The downside is that it only funds one winning project, so the vast majority of applicants will be unsuccessful. The application cycle lasts a full two years, leading to very high time costs, and the large funding pool is better suited to large organizations — small and medium-sized groups have very little chance of winning.
This site is suitable for large non-governmental organizations that have a complete solution to a major public problem to apply. Individuals and small organizations are not suitable to participate in the competition.
Currently, the site can be accessed directly and normally without any proxy service. The entire interface is in English, with no Chinese localization support.
