Proposals in the Bold Solutions Network are chosen from the top-ranked applications submitted to open competitions managed by Lever for Change. Each Lever for Change competition has unique criteria and eligibility requirements which are made publicly available after the launch of each competition. You can read more about our current and upcoming competitions on Lever for Change’s Explore Competitions webpage.

The number of top proposals selected for inclusion varies with each competition. Each proposal has been reviewed by administrative staff, by individuals with broad expertise, subject experts, and in most competitions, by peers as well. Only top-performing applicants of Lever for Change competitions are eligible to be featured in the Bold Solutions Network.
