What is the Solutions Bank?
The Solutions Bank is your go-to resource for accelerating social change around the world's biggest challenges. It includes proposals submitted by competitions managed by Lever for Change, an affiliate of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. No single foundation can fund them all, but as a field, we can discover and fund big solutions that organizations have already mapped out. Read more about what's included on this site and why we created this resource in the FAQs, and then explore solutions that spark connection for you.
