Have your big ideas and hard work already led to successes? Do you have the energy and an Even Bigger Idea that could have a greater impact? Our Even Bigger Idea challenge could be your opportunity. In 2015, our funding focus is education. Specifically, the unaddressed basic needs which prevent PreK – 12 students from being fully present in the classroom.

If you are an innovative thinker capable of delivering, you could receive $300,000 to bring your solution to fruition. The first $100,000 is awarded for your past outstanding work and includes an exclusive opportunity to apply for an additional $200,000 in support of your Even Bigger Idea. Choose to put them together and you’ll have $300,000 from our Even Bigger Idea challenge to turn your vision into a reality.

The application will be available for review at the Rathmann Challenge website in December 2014. Applications open on January 5, 2015 and will remain so until 200 qualified applications have been received or until February 12, 2015 – whichever occurs first.
