Apply for the Rise Challenge, an innovation contest to generate new ideas and solutions to the challenges that face entrepreneurs of color from starting and growing their businesses.
Entrepreneurs of color are disproportionately impacted when it comes to economic access and opportunities compared to their white counterparts. At today’s pace of change, it will take 200–250 years to reach wealth equality.
A first-of-its-kind partnership that combines Accenture’s and Avanade’s technological and digital innovation capabilities with Prosperity Now’s expertise in building intergenerational wealth for black and brown communities to disrupt the systems that impede growth and transform the BIPOC business ecosystem at scale.
