Initiative
INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND RECOVERY CHALLENGE
In early 2020, we launched the $10 million Inclusive Growth and Recovery
Challenge as part of our commitment to building the field of data for social
impact.
Meet the awardees Download the Impact report
OVERVIEW
With support from the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and The Rockefeller
Foundation, the data.org Challenge called for breakthrough ideas that harness
the power of data to help people and communities thrive, especially in the wake
of COVID-19’s health and economic impact. In early 2021, we awarded $10 million
in funding and technical assistance to eight exemplary awardees from a pool of
over 1,200 applications. The Paul Ramsay Foundation, focused on philanthropy in
Australia, funded a ninth award.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AREAS OF FOCUS
The Challenge invited proposals in the focus areas named below, but also
welcomed submissions for using data to advance shared prosperity, and help
ensure inclusive recovery.
Jobs of Tomorrow Access to Capital Cities and Towns
Jobs of Tomorrow
LEAVE NO WORKER BEHIND
Low wage workers are among the most vulnerable in today’s economy. In times of
economic stress, current trends toward automation and job displacement could
accelerate. How can we use data to help workers remain secure in precarious
times? Can data insights predict trends in the labor market and connect and
prepare workers for the jobs of tomorrow?
Access to Capital
LEAVE NO ENTREPRENEUR BEHIND
Unleashing the spirit of grassroots entrepreneurs can help communities rebound
by creating much-needed jobs and growing local economies. Yet, in times of
recession, the flow of credit to micro and small businesses tends to slow down.
How can data enable microentrepreneurs to gain access to capital? How can data
help us identify micro and small businesses with the potential to grow? How can
data insights rethink creditworthiness and unlock capital for high potential
business owners?
Cities and Towns
LEAVE NO PLACE BEHIND
An economic recession will hit some places harder than others. As public and
private sector investments flow into cities and towns to stimulate the economy,
how can leaders use data-driven insights to make the right decisions to ensure
economic security in underserved communities? How can data and analytics help
connect neighborhoods to the resources and networks they need to access
opportunity, including quality education, affordable housing and childcare,
decent jobs, and transportation? We see opportunities for data to fuel economic
growth and empower communities to thrive without further exacerbating
inequality.

social impact for workers, entrepreneurs, and communities.
