100&Change

We designed a selection process that is fair, open, and transparent. Once the application period closes, Lever for Change Staff will work to review each 100&Change submission to ensure it meets the requirements and rules before advancing to the next stage. During the participatory review process, applicants within the same domain will score and provide feedback on each other’s proposals using our established criteria. Our Wise Head Panel of external judges will then review and score submissions using the same criteria and trait scoring rubric. MacArthur's Board of Directors will then select up to five finalists. Over the next several months, the finalists will work with an expert team to strengthen their proposals, present a preliminary plan for monitoring and evaluation, and learning, and show authentic engagement with communities of interest before submitting revised project plans.The selection of the final award recipient rests with MacArthur’s Board.
