In 2017 up to ten Prizes will be awarded to those – nonprofits and mission-driven for-profits – tackling our country’s most pressing needs through social innovation.
Award Categories
This year, prize recipients will ideally present innovative concepts that fall within, in-between or in a matter related to the Fund’s three funding categories:

- Social Justice – Supporting decarceration and humane immigrant integration.

Accordingly, the award amount will total up to $175,000 per Prize recipient over the three-year period.
