Description

The David Prize celebrates extraordinary individuals with ideas, projects, products, and passions that are making (or will make) New York City a better place for more of us. As long as you have a clear idea of how your work improves our city, and what you need to get it done, we'll consider it. Individuals that win The David Prize can be affiliated with organizations or companies, but the focus is on great people doing great things outside of established pathways and projects.Great work doesn't happen in silos and most problems are interconnected, so we don't fund based on particular labels or disciplines.

Winners may come from fields as diverse as the arts and creative expression, workforce and economic development, civic engagement, environment and sustainability, immigrant rights, food and nutrition, homelessness, and/or youth development. Eligibility Applicants must be a New Yorker (live in New York's five boroughs or in the tri-state area if idea is NYC-specific).
