The Audacious Project

The Audacious Project

The Audacious Project is a collaborative philanthropic initiative housed at TED, aiming to catalyze large-scale social impacts by funding bold ideas. Launched in 2018, it addresses the inefficiencies in traditional philanthropic fundraising by bringing together social entrepreneurs and donors to support projects that can affect millions of lives. The project encourages changemakers to dream big, shapes their ideas into viable multi-year plans, and presents them to potential supporters. With over $5.9 billion raised since its inception, The Audacious Project supports a wide range of initiatives, from climate change mitigation to social justice and healthcare innovation, fostering a collaborative and effective approach to philanthropy.
