The D2Development Fund is a not-for-profit association managed by
alumni of the Development Studies Institute (DESTIN) at the London
School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). It has two
objectives: First, to encourage and support entrepreneurship and
innovative ideas in development. The second is to strengthen the
DESTIN students, alumni and staff community.

These aims are pursued through a unique competition of development
initiatives organized every year. Only proposals submitted by members
of the DESTIN community are eligible, and the DESTIN community itself
selects the award winner out of the best submissions by online
voting.

Funding mainly comes from donations from members of the same
community, and the concept also allows project proponents to promote
their initiative and to seek advice from possibly more experienced
members of the DESTIN world.
