Racial Equity 2030: Overview PRESENTER: TIM WUCHTER, SENIOR DIRECTOR, FOUNDATION RELATIONS, UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT

Racial equity is the primary challenge of our time. The future of too many children is bound by the color of their skin, their families’ circumstances, or the limits of opportunity because of systemic inequities in their communities. The systems that perpetuate inequity and injustice have been generations in the making. Racial Equity 2030 IS A CHANCE TO REIMAGINE AND BUILD A FUTURE WHERE EQUITY IS REALIZED.

What is Racial Equity 2030 ? ØRacial Equity 2030 is a $90 million global challenge in honor of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation’s 90 th anniversary. ØRacial Equity 2030 is hosted by the Kellogg Foundation and managed by Lever for Change, a Mac. Arthur Foundation affiliate whose mission is to unlock significant philanthropic capital and accelerate positive social change around the world’s biggest challenges. • NOTE: Lever for Change also manages the Mac. Arthur 100&Change initiative, on which Racial Equity 2030 is modeled, as well as other competitions that address global challenges. ØRacial Equity 2030 is a call for bold solutions to drive an equitable future for children, their families, and communities. ØRacial Equity 2030 seeks ideas from anywhere in the world and will scale them over the next decade to transform the systems and institutions that uphold inequity. Solutions may tackle the social, economic, political, or institutional inequities we see today.

What is Racial Equity 2030 ? Cont. ØRacial Equity 2030 is open to teams from anywhere in the world. ØProposed ideas must embrace and reflect the values of racial equity and justice. ØThey must be led by a team that centers on lived experience and includes communities closest to the issue as part of leadership in the project. ØUp to ten teams will be selected as Finalists, and each will receive a $1 million planning grant as well as nine months of capacity-building support to further develop their project and strengthen their applications. ØAt least five additional awards adding up to a minimum of $80 million will be announced in the summer of 2022: • At least three Awardees will each receive a $20 million grant. • At least two additional Awardees will each receive a $10 million grant. • These awards will be paid out over nine years to coincide with the Kellogg Foundation’s 100 th anniversary.

Racial Equity 2030: Application and Scoring PRESENTER: DEANDRA BECK, ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR RESEARCH, INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AND PROGRAMS

The Application: Overview Racial Equity 2030 uses an online application that consists of the following components: A. Quick Pitch B. Video Presentation C. Your Team D. The Challenge E. Your Solution F. Subject Area and Location of Work G. Projected Impact H. Resource Requirements I. Additional Due Diligence J. Administrative Information K. Additional Information to be Provided

The Application: Critical Items ØWhat is the issue you are trying to address? Who is impacted, and why does the problem exist in the current environment? ØHow will you address the issue over the ten-year grant period? What are your anticipated results, and who will benefit? What opportunities does your solution present for structural or systems change? How do you think change will happen as a result of your efforts? ØHow will you embed the Kellogg Foundation’s commitments to racial equity and racial healing in your project? • • Racial equity affirms that all people, regardless of their racial/ethnic group identification, skin color or physical traits, deserve an equal opportunity to experience well-being in a just society. Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people.

The Application: Critical Items, Cont. ØHow is your approach different from existing methods and practices? What is unique and creative about it? ØWhere are you currently implementing your solution? Where do you plan to implement your solution if awarded this grant? ØWhat gives you confidence that your project will work? Provide information and examples that support your thinking. These can include formal or informal studies, observations, and other indicators of change as defined by your community. ØWho are your external collaborators and partners? How long have you been working together on this issue? ØHow is your team uniquely positioned to make a change, and why is your team the best choice to solve this problem? How does the project team reflect and include the communities served by your project, and how are communities closest to the issue reflected in leadership of the project?

The Application: Racial Equity in a Global Context The focus of proposed work can be either national or international. "Racial Equity" has specific connotations within the United States. What does it mean in a global context? We believe a racially equitable society is one in which neither race nor ethnicity determines opportunity and life outcomes. It is a society where all groups have the ability to participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. Depending on local conditions, barriers to that vision may be rooted in perceived racial difference, and/or in oppression tied to ethnicity, caste, or economic injustice. While the term “racial equity” has specific connotations within the United States, in a global context, the Racial Equity 2030 challenge seeks to advance equity within hierarchies, structures, policies, systems and practices of dehumanization that perpetuate disparities for racial/ethnic groups in a local context. Also, through the examination of historical impacts of colonialism in perpetuating structural racism, we can understand racism as a global issue and seek anti-racism strategies to decolonize systems through this challenge.

The Application: Budget ØBudgets must total to $20 million. Note that while Racial Equity 2030 will grant up to three awards at up to $20 million each and up to two awards at up to $10 million each, we are asking all applicants to provide a $20 million budget for consistency. You may be asked to revise this budget down if you advance to later stages of the Challenge. ØBudgets must allocate funds to support Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning activities. Typically costs for these activities require anywhere from 3 -15% of the total projected total costs. ØBudgets must afford reasonable accommodations to make your project accessible to people with disabilities, as implementers, participants, and beneficiaries. ØBudgets must represent how you intend to address any indirect cost categories. Indirect costs up to a maximum of twenty-nine percent (29%) of direct project or activity costs within the $20 million award limit will be considered.

Scoring Rubric: Overview ØPeer reviewers and expert reviewers will evaluate each application against four traits: GAME-CHANGING / EQUITABLE / BOLD / ACTIONABLE ØEach eligible applicant will review five peer submissions, providing scores and comments against each of the four traits. ØTop-scoring applications will be further reviewed by an expert panel. ØEach trait will be scored on a 0 - 5 point scale, in increments of 0. 1, for a maximum of 20 points.

Scoring Rubric: Traits GAME CHANGING (0 -5, with 0 being CONVENTIONAL and 5 being TRANSFORMATIONAL) Is the proposed solution intentionally designed to bring transformational change in policies, processes, institutions, or power structures? EQUITABLE (0 -5, with 0 being INEQUITABLE and 5 being EQUITABLE) Does the proposal address the root causes of racialized outcomes and inequitable systems? Is the approach and solution asset-based and inclusive of communities most impacted by the issue in decision-making? BOLD (0 -5, with 0 being UNINSPIRED and 5 being AUDACIOUS) Does the proposed solution offer imaginative or catalytic ideas or approaches that have the potential to create sustained conditions in which children, families, and communities can thrive? Are the core ideas truly inventive, outcomes bold and aspirational? ACTIONABLE (0 -5, with 0 being IMPROBABLE and 5 being ATTAINABLE) Does the team have the skills, capacity, knowledge or lived experience to implement the proposed strategy, or do they have a plan to build those skills or acquire strategic partners? Does the budget and project plan align with a realistic understanding of the costs and activities needed to implement the proposed solution?

Internal MSU Process PRESENTER: BERONDA MONTGOMERY, INTERIM ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT, RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Internal Process for Racial Equity 2030 ØIn response to this call, the Office of Research and Innovation (OR&I) is inviting expressions of interest (white papers) from MSU faculty who wish to receive additional institutional support to prepare their proposal. VPRI expects to use an internal review process to identify those proposals that are likely to be competitive in this competition. ØGuidelines for the internal white paper will be issued shortly and will ask you to address, in no more than three pages, a number of questions related to critical items on the actual application. ØThe internal reviewers will understand that white papers will not contain sufficient detail to fully evaluate each project. A team’s ability to address the questions, however, should provide enough information for internal reviewers to assess the potential competitiveness of the project relative to the scoring rubric established by Lever for Change and the Kellogg Foundation for this competition
