Expert resources
In addition to cash prizes, finalists will receive expert assistance and resources to help plan, run, refine, and report on their programs throughout the two-year community implementation period.
On-the-ground support
The challenge hired a paid Community Engagement Manager (CEM) for each finalist, valued at approximately $100,000 over the two-year period. The CEM will help with on-the-ground setup, program refinement, and reporting. Finalists had the opportunity to recommend CEM candidates and participate in the recruitment process.
