The PROSPY’s
Celebrating Values in Action
The PROSPY’s at The Prosperity Gala At the heart of The Prosperity Gala is a celebration of leadership, vision, and impact. Each year, Equity Now, Inc. recognizes individuals and organizations whose work embodies our core values and helps advance financial education, equity, and community empowerment. These honors are known as The PROSPY’s — awards that spotlight those who are not only creating change but also inspiring others to imagine and build a better future. The PROSPY’s are more than awards. They are a symbol of the values that guide Equity Now, Inc.: collaboration, diversity, innovation, and love. They shine a light on the people and partners who fuel our mission to empower youth, families, and communities with the tools of financial literacy and generational wealth-building.

The Prosperity Gala
The Prosperity Gala is Equity Now’s signature fundraising event, bringing together supporters who believe that Financial Education is essential to stability, opportunity, and long-term economic freedom.
This evening is a celebration of collective impact and shared commitment. Every ticket purchased and every contribution made directly fuels programs that strengthen individuals, families, and communities.
The PROSPY Awards are the crown jewel of the Prosperity Gala.
These awards honor individuals and organizations who exemplify Equity Now’s core values and who have demonstrated commitment to expanding the reach and impact of Financial Education in their communities. PROSPY Award recipients lead with integrity, collaboration, and a deep commitment to economic opportunity for all.
By recognizing this leadership, the Prosperity Gala uplifts the people who help move the work forward — and reminds us what’s possible when values guide action.
The Prosperity Gala exists because access to Financial Education should not be limited by income, background, or circumstance. This event ensures that knowledge, tools, and opportunity reach those who need them most.
