Impact Competition

University case competition challenging students to solve real-world social issues in their communities. Winners are funded to implement their idea.

Impact Competition is a 401c3 committed to empowering college and university students to utilize their business acumen to address pressing social issues. Our annual case competition challenges students to solve real-world social issues in their communities, with the winners granted a generous prize that enables them to fully implement their idea. In doing so, Impact Competition seeks to empower th

is new generation of socially-minded students to utilize their business skills via philanthropic impact investing, and to encourage them to unlearn the outdated concept that making a profit stands in contrast to doing good in the world. Join us as we create a sustainable model of philanthropy that amplifies impact at every step of the process and develops synergies between students, schools, non-profits, and communities.
