SIF Announces the 2023 Finalists for the Social Innovator Accelerator

The Social Innovation Forum (SIF) is pleased to announce the 18 finalists for the 2023 Social Innovator Accelerator. These organizations and programs represent some of the nonprofit sector's most promising approaches to addressing the toughest social issues of Greater Boston and beyond. 

For our signature accelerator program, we received 60 applications across eight social issue tracks. We are grateful to our evaluation committee members, a group of 51 social issue experts who gathered on Zoom and in person to evaluate applications and narrow down the finalists. The finalist programs and organizations recently completed informational site visits and will undergo final due diligence before eight Social Innovators are selected in early December.
