This year's award categories are Skills Development & Opportunity Matching, Income Growth & Job Creation, Technology Access, and Financial Inclusion.

Over $1 million in total prizes will be awarded. Winners also benefit from resources provided by IIC partners.

We expect that the prize money will be invested in the organization, but we do not have any stringent guidelines.

For-profit and nonprofit organizations of any size, age, or type and from any nation are encouraged to apply. Eligible organizations:

• Are using technology to reinvent work and create economic opportunity for people below the top rung of the economic ladder.
• Are beyond the “idea phase.” They must be enhancing shared prosperity today.

Before submitting an application, organizations must register (and confirm that registration by clicking on the auto generated email) by June 21. Once registration has closed, registrants will have until June 26 to complete their submissions.

The IIC cannot accept applications from organizations that have not registered online by 6:00PM ET on Wednesday, June 21. Online applications not completed and submitted by 6:00PM ET on Monday, June 26 will also not be accepted.

No, the IIC is open to for-profit and nonprofit organizations only.

Portions of your application may be shared publicly.
