Congratulations to our 2025 Social Innovator Cohort!

Seven nonprofits selected for a 24-month capacity-building program.

The Social Innovation Forum (SIF) is excited to announce the selection of seven nonprofits for our 2025 Social Innovator cohort. Over the next two years, the Social Innovators will receive financial and capacity-building support to help them gain visibility, expand their networks, and strengthen their impact.

The group consists of organizations working for social change across five distinct issue areas, also known as "tracks," in Eastern Massachusetts. Evaluation and interview committees made up of 32 social issue experts from the business, government, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors spent six months reviewing 70 applicants and interviewing finalists to select the 2025 Social Innovator cohort.
