MIT Solve runs open, challenge-driven competitions to identify and scale tech-enabled social ventures addressing climate resilience, health access, learning, economic opportunity, and Indigenous community priorities around the world. They fund early-stage teams (Solvers) with modest base awards, partner-funded prizes, fellowship supports, and connections to mentors and corporate/philanthropic partners — prioritizing scalable, technology-forward solutions and inclusive approaches (including Indigenous representation).

Enfoque de Donación
Prize- and challenge-based funding model: annual open challenges with a common ~$10,000 base award for selected Solvers, plus additional partner-funded prizes (up to ~$300,000 in some cases), fellowship supports, mentorship, and in-kind network connections. Global, time-bound application cycles (challenge rounds) rather than accepting unsolicited rolling proposals.

Cómo acercarte a este financiador
Apply to the relevant annual challenge during its open cycle (typically announced in late summer/fall); proposals should be tech-forward, scalable, and clearly demonstrate impact and fit with the specific challenge theme. Expect a competitive selection process — highlight evidence of scalability, partnerships, and readiness for mentorship; review partner prize criteria (some awards include additional funding up to six figures). Unsolicited proposals outside challenge cycles are unlikely to be accepted.
