Where:
Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History
101 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
The Auburn Avenue Research Library is adjacent from A3C’s Conference Center in Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn Historic District. It is the first library in the Southeast to offer specialized reference and archival collections dedicated to the study and research of African American culture and history.
Why:
After several years of developing initiatives within the Conference to support our charitable community, A3C started the A3C Action Pitch Competition. The A3C Action Pitch Competition is a national competition looking to find, support, and invest in new, innovative ideas that use art, music and hip-hop culture as a vehicle to advance social justice and civic engagement. The A3C Action Pitch Competition invites organizations from around the country to submit their ideas. Hundreds of applicants from more than 30 states have applied since its initiation in 2015. Meet this year’s 5 finalists who will be pitching to our celebrity panel of judges to win over $10,000 in funding and in-kind support.
The final pitch is on Friday, Oct 6th at 7:00 PM at the Action Summit.
Special thanks to Comcast, Center for Civic Innovation, and Hip Hop Caucus.
