DRK may instead provide equity investment to eligible mission-driven for-profits; investment capital is not a grant. Up to $500,000 capacity-building in-kind support is not cash grant. No universal total pool or standard matching requirement published.
DeadlineOPEN year-round; no fixed application or LOI deadline. Initial DRK review normally 8–10 weeks; invitation-only interviews, diligence and closing follow for selected candidates.
Required next actionConfirm a nonprofit/501(c)(3) or qualifying overseas equivalent, post-pilot/pre-scale, demonstrated underserved-beneficiary impact, scalable delivery and earned-income plan; if fiscally sponsored, prepare independent spinout plan.
