and social justice.
In 2019, we will award up to ten Prizes, each including a cash award of $150,000 over three years, plus $25,000 for project expenses, for a total award of $175,000. Awardees
also receive guidance through the Fund and its resource network, providing trainings and tools for ascendant changemakers.
