National Business Plan Competition for Nonprofit Organizations
The Yale School of Management, The Goldman Sachs Foundation, and The Pew Charitable Trusts joined together to form The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures. As its signature event, The Partnership runs the National Business Plan Competition for Nonprofit Organizations, open to nonprofits seeking to start or expand successful profit-making ventures with substantial cash prizes and technical assistance offered to the winners.
The Competition takes place over the course of one year, and includes several Rounds of evaluation. All entrants receive comprehensive feedback from The Partnership’s team of evaluators.
The final twenty entrants will attend the annual conference and awards ceremony where a panel of judges select four grand-prize winners, each of whom will receive $100,000 and four semi-finalists, each of whom will receive $25,000. In addition to cash awards, the winners will receive hundreds of hours of business planning consultations to assist their organizations to move their ventures forward.
