The J.M.K. Innovation Prize

The J.M.K. Innovation Prize, an initiative of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, seeks to identify, support, and elevate innovators who are spearheading transformative early-stage projects in the United States. Specifically, the Prize seeks to support innovation in the following three program areas: Heritage Conservation, with a focus on conserving the places that communities care about most; Social Justice, with a focus on buttressing democracy, voter education, and reforms to the criminal justice and immigration systems; and The Environment, with a focus on slowing the pace of climate change and mitigating climate impacts. Up to ten Prizes will be awarded to nonprofit organizations or mission-driven for-profit organizations. Each Prize will provide a cash award of $150,000 over three years, plus $25,000 in technical assistance funds. The first-round application deadline is April 30, 2021. Potential applicants are welcome to submit questions to JMKInnovationPrize@JMKFund.org and are encouraged to register for an information webinar on March 30th. Visit the J.M. Kaplan Fund's website for more information on the J.M.K. Innovation Prize.
