Join us for an unforgettable evening of innovation and inspiration at the BNY UpPrize 2025 Final Showcase on Thursday, October 23, at the August Wilson African American Culture Center.

Be among the first to see this year’s ten semifinalists present their solutions to some of our region’s most pressing challenges— and witness the announcement of the four winners who will share $325,000 in total prizes.

Since its launch in 2015, the BNY UpPrize Social Innovation Challenge—fully funded by BNY and administered by Innovation Works—has allocated more than $3.4 million in investments, grants, and technical assistance. Now in its eighth year, UpPrize continues to bridge the gap between nonprofit and entrepreneurial communities, supporting innovative, technology-driven solutions that improve nonprofit service delivery and enhance lives in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Join us as we celebrate this year’s winners and the broader social entrepreneurship community
driving impact across the region.
