The/Nudge Foundation is an India-focused nonprofit funder and operator that specializes in scaling solutions for resilient livelihoods and poverty graduation. It runs incubators, accelerators, grand-challenge style prizes, and large program partnerships (including with DBS Foundation and government agencies) to support agricultural productivity, livelihood micro-enterprises, and skilling-to-employment pathways. They favor hands-on, cohort-based support and prize/partnership models rather than open, unsolicited general operating support.
Program-driven and partnership-based funding: mix of incubator (seed ~₹20 lakhs), accelerator (larger scale grants and scaling support), multi-stage prize cohorts, and strategic partnerships (invite-only, program contracts) with grant sizes ranging roughly $18k–$240k and occasional large multi-year program commitments.

Most major opportunities are programmatic or partnership-based (no unsolicited proposals for several flagship programs). Apply to cohort calls (Incubator, Accelerator, Grand Challenges) when open, follow published application windows on The/Nudge website, and emphasize scalable livelihood impact, graduation-model design, and government/partner engagement. For larger program partnerships, engage via introductions or partner organizations (e.g., DBS Foundation or relevant state government agencies).
