2025 Audacious Winners Include Braven and Imagine Worldwide
The Audacious Project 2025 grantees include two DRK portfolio organizations:
- Braven, led by Aimée Eubanks Davis: Closing the college-to-career gap for low-income and first-generation college students in the United States by partnering with higher education and employers to prepare students for the workforce.
- Imagine Worldwide, led by Rapelang Rabana: Scaling solar-powered, offline edtech learning solutions to reach students across Malawi, Sierra Leone and Tanzania.
Over eight years, The Audacious Project has focused on supporting bold ideas with the scale, flexibility, and multi-year funding required for paradigm-shifting, sustainable change. Backed by a courageous community of peer funders, the newest cohort joins a portfolio that secured $1.03B in commitments last year to bring transformative visions to life — from AI-powered medical breakthroughs to plastic-free oceans.
