Last week, five social entrepreneurs pitched their bold solutions to strengthen education, income and health in North Texas at our annual event—The Pitch presented by AT&T. This is the culminating event of our Social Innovation Accelerator in collaboration with Accenture, a program that provides entrepreneurs with the funding, mentorship, and community connections to scale and amplify their impact.
It was an extraordinary night–each of The Pitch finalists took home $25,000 in prize funding for making it to The Pitch stage. They won a combined $270,000 in prize funding.
