Social Innovation ForumLaunched in March of 2023 with a $1M gift over five years, the Social Innovator Fund helps individuals committed to strengthening the social impact sector directly allocate more resources to local, community-led organizations that get selected into SIF’s Accelerator Program annually.
The Fund is an exciting new opportunity to deepen impact. As such, annually, SIF must raise the capital needed to ensure the Fund is available for each cohort of its Accelerator Program. Funds are distributed evenly across each Social Innovator. Last year, we raised a total of $390K allowing us to provide $45,750 to each 2023 Innovator, and $2,500 to each of the 2023 finalists.
We are now seeking contributions for the 2024 Social Innovator Fund which will support our current cohort of Social Innovators who lead these amazing organizations. Please join us on October 7th to learn more about the Fund and our progress since it was launched. You’ll hear from members of the SIF community, including Innovators, funders, and other supporters, about the work and our vision for the future. We would love to have you or someone from your team join us. If October 7th doesn’t work, we are happy to schedule a one-on-one conversation with the SIF team at your convenience.
