Testing bright ideas
Scaling what works
An Evidence Engine
For Global Development
The DIV Fund is an evidence-driven open innovation fund that finds and supports solutions with the potential to cost-effectively improve millions of lives.
We calibrate funding according to evidence of impact, supporting early pilots, rigorous testing, and large-scale expansion through three funding tiers.
We fund according to three core principles: evidence of impact, cost-effectiveness, and potential for durable scale.

Portfolio spotlights
We find, test, and scale solutions that change lives worldwide.
"DIV’s support played a critical role in shaping how we at Educational Initiatives approach innovation, evidence, and scale in public education systems. Beyond funding, the advisory engagement pushed us to test bold ideas, rigorously examine what works, and continuously strengthen our operating model within government contexts... This engagement has significantly accelerated our journey toward creating a world where children everywhere are learning with understanding, while demonstrating how innovative, cost effective learning solutions can be embedded sustainably within public systems."
