collaboration with The Resolution Project. The Challenge allows Summit
attendees to build teams and submit their plans for actual social
ventures, in America or abroad, that make a positive impact today. Every
year, The Resolution Project provides Fellowships, including grants of
up to US $3,000 and personalized advisory support, to the winning teams
and their ventures.
