Racial Equity Accelerator

Working together to apply technology innovation to end systemic racism and advance racial equity

Join us

We are issuing an open call to organizations for project proposals that fast-track racial equity

Many non-profits, civic organizations, educational institutions and social impact startups are on the frontlines of addressing systemic racism. However, they are traditionally disconnected from technology innovation.  

Today's advanced technologies make it possible to approach big challenges with new solutions that were not possible just a few years ago. By bringing together racial equity experts with funding and technology innovation, we’ll create a grant-based acceleration program that generates new solutions for racial equity in the US and globally. 


We are looking for project proposals to unlock new solutions across the range of racial equity areas below:

Impact

How will the proposed project address a racial equity challenge, and to what extent? Is the application grounded in research and data about the problem and the solution? Is there a clear plan to integrate technology for real-world impact, and what are the expected outcomes?

Feasibility

Does the team have a well-­developed, realistic plan to execute on the proposal? Does the team have a plan to access a meaningful dataset, technical expertise, and other factors needed to apply technology to the problem? Have they identified the right partners and domain experts needed for implementation?

Scalability

If successful, how can this project scale beyond the initial proposal? Can it scale directly, serve as a model for other efforts, or advance the field?
