What is a Big Bet?

A big bet is a bold, concerted effort to solve a large–scale problem ― not just make incremental improvements.

Why do we need Big Bets?

Rising oceans. Soaring temperatures. Raging wildfires. The threats of unchecked climate change are clear.

Why do we need a Big Bets Community?

With the Big Bets Community, The Rockefeller Foundation is looking to support emerging leaders with bold solutions to not just slow the climate crisis, but reverse it.

What constitutes a big bet?

  • NOVEL SOLUTIONS

    Big bets require finding a new way of thinking or doing things ― often inspired by a technological advance or a novel method for harnessing the know-how, fortunes, and energies of others.

  • UNLIKELY PARTNERS

    Big bets require developing broad alliances, often among unlikely partners like government and business, that can summon sufficient resources and diverse capabilities to break through the constraints that so often limit social progress.

  • MEASURING PROGRESS

    Big bets require following through on measurable outcomes for as long as it takes for people and communities to benefit.
