Awards and Recognition

Catalyzing Change on a Global Scale

The work of DRK’s portfolio organizations and their exceptional leaders has not gone unnoticed. Our tradecraft, honed over 24 years, has created a shared belief that DRK’s unique competency is our ability to find, fund, and support extraordinary early-stage organizations and to build their capacity so that, downstream, they can absorb significant later-stage capital that can be truly transformative.

This is highlighted by the large number of Audacious Projects (19% of awardees are DRK organizations), Skoll Awards (10% of awardees are DRK organizations), and MacKenzie Scott grants (55 DRK organizations) that have come directly from our portfolio. Our portfolio’s impact speaks for itself — a full list of recognitions is available at the link below.
