"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The Obama administration has introduced a Race To The Top program for college affordability and completion, allowing states and colleges to compete for $1 billion in federal grants to accomplish those goals, the White House announced Friday morning.

Addressing the costs of college was one of the goals Obama mentioned in his State of the Union speech this week, calling on states to spend more on higher education. "Higher education can’t be a luxury — it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford," he said.
