Other finalists projects include <a href=\"https:\/\/solutions.leverforchange.org\/racial-equity-2030\/574-strong-creating-regenerative-food-economies-in-indian-country\">574+ Strong:<\/a> Creating Regenerative Food Economies in Indian Country, and <a href=\"https:\/\/solutions.leverforchange.org\/racial-equity-2030\/healing-through-justice-a-community-led-breakthrough-strategy-for-healing-centered-communities\/\">Healing Through Justice:<\/a> A Community-Led Breakthrough Strategy for Healing-Centered Communities in Illinois, U.S.A.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Racial Equity 2030 Challenge is being managed by Lever for Change, a nonprofit affiliate of the John D. and Catherine T.

We are looking forward to following their progress as a cohort, across communities, borders and continents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Challenge received submissions from 72 countries. Applications were evaluated during a five-month review process \u2013 involving peer applicants and multi-disciplined experts from across the world \u2013 based on four criteria: whether they were game changing, equitable, bold and achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamic and multi-layered work proposed by the 10 finalists will challenge and change norms, address root causes of racialized outcomes, and create sustained conditions in which children, families and communities can thrive. Most importantly, local and proximate leaders from each of the target communities are a key part of the decision making processes, taking the lead on defining success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the 10 finalist teams will receive a one-year $1 million planning grant, which includes nine months of capacity-building support to further develop their project and strengthen their application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the finalists, five awards totaling $80 million will be announced in the summer of 2022. Three awardees will each receive a $20 million grant and two awardees will each receive a $10 million grant. Grants will be paid out over eight years to coincide with W.K. Kellogg Foundation\u2019s 100th anniversary in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about the Racial Equity 2030 Challenge and the finalists can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/racialequity2030.org.\">https:\/\/racialequity2030.org.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cKawailoa: A Transformative Indigenous Model to Replace Youth Incarceration\u201d project supports youth to find their roles as healers and community contributors by replacing youth incarceration with a  Native Hawaiian restorative system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":7122,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,20,122],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kupa-aina","category-news","category-partners"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7118"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7382,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7118\/revisions\/7382"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
