Description
Coefficient Giving invites expressions of interest (EOIs) for the Launchpad Funds initiative, designed to seed or scale ambitious funds that address critical, underfunded challenges in global health and wellbeing. This opportunity targets outcome-oriented, general manager-led funds with actionable strategies to convert philanthropic capital into measurable progress on the world’s toughest problems. The program aims to foster a pipeline of regrantors and implementers capable of deploying large-scale funding (ideally $100 million or more over several years) in a cost-effective manner. Proposals may focus on specific, quantifiable outcomes or promising thematic interventions. Both individuals and organizations are encouraged to apply, provided they are willing to take full ownership of a major problem area.
