We just won the Kelly Impact Prize 2023 !!!!!: by Social Enterprise Greenhouse
The Kelly Impact Prize is awarded to a business or nonprofit that has participated in a past program of SEG’s and is actively involved in SEG’s ecosystem and has demonstrated significant contributions and potential to support making Rhode Island a more just, equitable, and resilient economy.
The Kelly Impact Prize was started last year in honor of our previous CEO, Kelly Ramirez and the impact she’s had on the entrepreneurial space and her contributions to Rhode Island.
Fuerza Laboral is a graduate of the Nonprofit Innovation Lab, a past participant in SEG’s technical assistance programs, and a committed partner and collaborator with SEG's ecosystem. As a workers' rights center in Central Falls whose mission is to shift the balance of power in our economy towards labor, Fuerza Laboral's support of worker-owned co-ops and commitment to ensuring all workers have access to living-wage employment is strongly aligned with SEG's vision of a more just, equitable, and resilient economy. Fuerza Laboral's existing programs and advocacy have already created positive change in our communities and their new space in Central Falls creates an opportunity to take their work and impact even further.
SEG was proud to announce Fuerza Laboral as the 2023 winner of the Kelly Impact Prize for $20,000.
