Nonprofit Technology and Process Improvement Grant Programs: Mission Possible Award
Mission Possible: The Economic Opportunity Award Program - Nonprofit grant program, now in Charlotte and The NC Triangle Area
Registration for our 2025 programs in both Charlotte and the Triangle Area is open now through March 7, 2025 at 11:59PM.
Do you have an idea for bolstering economic mobility through nonprofit technology? Do you need professional support to help turn your idea into reality? Tap into innovative, pro bono technology and process improvement consulting with the Mission Possible Award Program.
When the Chetty study ranked Charlotte last out of 50 major cities for the ability to escape poverty, we created this program to drive economic mobility. In 2024, we expanded the program to the Triangle Area, which was only slightly ahead of Charlotte, ranked 48th. We're proud to have played a role in Charlotte's improvement to 38th and the Triangle area's improvement to 41st.
If your nonprofit meets the eligibility criteria (see FAQs below), you are welcome to participate*. There is no application process. Simply fill out the registration form to become a participant.
*Please note: Participation in each program is limited to twenty nonprofits.
