Equality Can’t Wait Challenge: Apply Today
Want to help expand women’s power and influence in the U.S. by 2030?
Apply for the Equality Can’t Wait Challenge, a competition seeking bold solutions that will bring additional capital and energy into one or more key areas that can expand women’s power and influence:
- Dismantling the barriers that hold women back.
- Fast tracking women in critical sectors.
- Calling society to action.
Hosted by Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company created by Melinda Gates, the Challenge will award at least three grants of a minimum of $10 million, with an additional $10 million to be allocated among finalists and determined at the award decision stage.
“At this defining moment for America, we must mobilize bold ideas and bright minds on behalf of equality. If we want to make progress for women, especially women of color, we need to invest real resources in the advocates and solutions that will drive change.”
– Melinda Gates
