Overview
Now is the time to ignite unprecedented innovation for equity & justice
The Racial Equity Alliance (REA) is a coalition aimed at creating more equitable solutions to dismantle institutional and systemic structures of racial inequities with an intentional focus on the Black community. Using the power of collaboration and radical optimism, the REA incentivizes solutions in the form of impactful projects, initiatives, and incentivized competitions to positively impact individuals, communities, and society.
By combining XPRIZE’s proven Alliance model of collaboration and shared innovation, the Racial Equity Alliance, in partnership with the Coalition of Black Excellence, takes action by convening a diverse group of thought leaders, topical experts, industry executives, policy makers, and nonprofit leaders who provide thought leadership and help shape the vision and work of the Alliance to drive immediate, positive impact.

The Ideas Competition, presented by Intel, is a platform for individuals across the United States to submit ideas for future XPRIZE competitions in the track of Education Equity. Up to 10 winning ideas will be selected and will share a prize purse of $50,000.
What would an XPRIZE competition mean for your community? For your city? Or, for the nation at large?
