Calling Emerging Social Impact Fund Managers to apply to join the ISFA 2026 Cohort

The International Social Finance Accelerator (ISFA) is now accepting Expressions of Interest until 10 January 2026.



The ISFA offers an innovative multi-year programme that accelerates emerging fund managers focusing on 3 key pillars for social impact:
🟠Decent Work across the Value-chain
🟠Adequate Living Standards and Wellbeing
🟠Inclusive and Sustainable Communities

To become an ISFA Cohort Member, and take advantage of the programme benefits, Fund Managers are selected through a highly competitive, three phase selection process, first by the Accelerating Impact team, then an independent consultant, and finally by our Selection Committee.


To highlight the competitiveness of the programme, for the inaugural ISFA Cohort in 2025, we had 32 eligible applicants for the ICFA programme and selected only 4 high-impact, innovative fund managers to be part of the 2025 Cohort.


Selected fund managers receive access to financial support, trainings on a wide range of topics, an expert coaching, and many other benefits. To find out more, visit our dedicated ISFA programme website or watch our last informational webinar. The next webinar will be hosted on 26 November, 4 pm CET. Register to the webinar

Please note: The ISFA programme aligns with the selection process of its sister programme, the ICFA, by requiring additional documents at the Expression of Interest phase.
