Social Innovation ForumIn the second year of the Social Innovator Fund, we raised and allocated a total of $297,580 to the 2024 Social Innovators and Accelerator Finalists. We awarded $2,500 to each of the twelve Finalists to compensate for time they dedicated to the SIF selection process. The remaining funds were equally distributed among our eight Innovators. Each nonprofit received an unrestricted grant of $33,447.50 to help build capacity and extend their impact. In addition to the fund, each Innovator receives $10,000 from track partners.
As an alum of SIF and now a consultant, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to raise funds as a small organization. I hope the Social Innovator Fund will catalyze the growth of these incredible organizations at this pivotal inflection point in their journeys.
SIF would like to thank everyone who gave to the Fund which is helping the 2024 Innovators and Finalists address the most important social issues in Eastern Massachusetts. We honor their commitment to advancing the social impact sector by allocating resources to local, small to medium-size community-led organizations. These donors’ generosity will enhance the meaningful impact of the 2024 Social Innovators who are listed below. We are excited to watch these nonprofits continue to grow in the next stages of the Accelerator Program and create long-lasting positive change in their communities.
