CHARLOTTE, N.C., August 9, 2023 /3BL/ - In collaboration with MIT Solve, Truist Foundation announced the deadline for its second Inspire Awards Challenge has been extended to Friday, Aug. 11, 2023.

The Truist Foundation Inspire Awards Challenge, in collaboration with Solve— an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dedicated to promoting innovative solutions to global problems, seeks nonprofit organizations with creative, tech-enabled solutions that address challenges faced by small business owners. From now until Aug. 11, 2023, qualifying nonprofits can submit applications through MIT Solve that answer the question, “What innovative, technology-based solution is your nonprofit implementing to create pathways to resiliency and sustainability for small businesses?”

Truist Foundation and MIT Solve will conduct a six-month wraparound support program for a cohort of seven nonprofit finalists to help transform their groundbreaking ideas into tangible solutions. The program includes a comprehensive needs assessment, learning and development modules to help refine business plans, measurement training, access to a network of resource partners and coaches, and more leading up to the live event.

Following the completion of the support program, the finalists will be invited to a live pitch event and ceremony where they will showcase their solutions. The first-place nonprofit will receive a $250,000 grant to actualize their project, while $150,000 grant goes to second place, and $25,000 grant to each of the runner-up teams. Plus, finalists are invited to a two-day Truist Leadership Institute Retreat and the annual flagship Solve at MIT event, held in May each year.
