Prevail makes targeted grants to field implementers, works directly on the ground to build their capacity to scale over 10+ years, and coordinates donor teams to leverage government and private-sector spending. Its founding board is composed of experienced social entrepreneurs and implementers, and its first program aims to raise and deploy $1B in philanthropy to improve instruction for at least 27. 5 million children across 11 countries in Africa and South Asia.
