3.3: Torchlight Prize
Recognize and reward groups of families, friends, or community members who have self-organized to strengthen their communities
or neighborhoods.
Other Information:
Spotlight Resident-led Solutions -- The Family Independence Initiative established the Torchlight Prize in 2012 to recognize
and reward groups of families, friends, or community members who have self-organized to strengthen their communities or neighborhoods.
At the heart of FII's efforts are strategies that increase the control and choice that low-income people hold in their lives
and strategies that reinforce community and reward initiative. For those of us looking to impact these communities it's time
to recognize and invest directly in the problem-solving capacities, ingenuity, and ambitions that these self-organized groups
demonstrate. The solutions generated by the people in communities present the most sustainable and scalable route to social
and economic mobility. Learn more about the Torchlight Prize at http://www.torchlightprize.org/
