Coefficient Giving Launchpad Funds 2026: Apply for Up to $50 Million+ to Scale High-Impact Global Health and Wellbeing Funds
Coefficient Giving has launched a funding opportunity for individuals, fund managers, and organizations aiming to scale high-impact global health and wellbeing funds. The initiative features two tracks offering between $200,000 and $50 million or more in support.
Overview
Coefficient Giving has opened the Launchpad Funds Request for Proposals (RFP) to support ambitious ideas addressing important and underfunded problems in global health and wellbeing. The initiative seeks to help create and strengthen funds capable of generating substantial impact and eventually deploying $100 million or more in philanthropic capital.
The opportunity is divided into two primary funding tracks:
- Pre-Seed Funding: Ranging from $200,000 to $10 million over up to 24 months, designed for new fund concepts requiring support to develop strategy, build a team, establish operating structures, and conduct exploratory grantmaking.
- Seed and Scaling Funding: Ranging from $10 million to $50 million or more over up to 36 months, aimed at more developed ideas, established funds ready to expand, or initiatives needing anchor funding. Exceptional proposals may be considered for funding above $50 million.
Eligibility
The funding opportunity is open to a diverse group of applicants tackling underfunded challenges in global health and wellbeing. Eligible applicant types include:
- Individuals who are well-positioned to serve as full-time general managers for a specific issue area, even without an existing host organization.
- Early-stage funds with established founding teams.
- Existing funds with substantial potential for growth and scaling.
- Philanthropic funders, regrantors, and incubators.
- Implementing organizations with a strong vision for tackling a major problem.
Proposals are evaluated based on cost-effectiveness and the ITN framework: Importance, Tractability, and Neglectedness.
