About this event

  • 7 hours

The 3rd Annual Poverty Innovation Summit, hosted by RISE Together Innovation Institute (RISE Together), builds upon the momentum of the last two years. This annual gathering of community leaders, activists, business, faith, and government leaders is a unique opportunity for multiple sectors to collaborate on addressing two of our region's most pressing issues. Those issues are systemic racism and poverty.  

This year’s theme is “There's Innovation All Around Us: Innovate to Make an Impact.” Join us as we use the power of policy, storytelling, and data to uncover and amplify the innovative solutions required to advance our community forward. No single solution will make our community more equitable and prosperous. Our vision is to demonstrate how a continuum of interventions and safety net programs are required to create pathways to economic self-sufficiency and wealth building for Franklin County residents.
