Your Innovation Could Change the Future

The RISE Challenge submissions are reopening!

We're calling on all innovators to enter the 2025 Rise Challenge. This national open call is your chance to bring forward implementation-ready solutions that strengthen community lending and expand access to capital.

Got an idea you want to get off the ground? This is your chance to shine, while helping to shape the future of community lending, fuel entrepreneurship, and expand opportunity nationwide.

This year’s Rise Challenge is focused on digital and technical assistance tools that help Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and other community lenders work smarter, faster, and fairer. One winning solution will be embedded into Prosperity Next, our flagship initiative to modernize lending infrastructure and scale impact nationwide.

What’s in it for you:

All expenses paid to attend the Prosperity Now Summit, including hotel, travel, and all-access registration

Up to $100,000 with a contract and other support services to contribute to a one-of-a-kind solution

Personalized feedback from high-profile corporate leaders

The chance to shine on stage before 1,500+ Summit attendees

We’re looking for:

Tools that solve real operational challenges for CDFIs and community lenders

Solutions ready to pilot and scale

Capacity to collaborate with lenders and adapt based on community needs

A commitment to helping small business owners thrive

Key dates:

📅 Applications close: September 8, 2025

📍 Finalist pitches: October 5–7 at the Prosperity Summit in Washington, D.C.
