Accelerating Impact, powering the ISFA – International Social Finance Accelerator and the ICFA – International Climate Finance Accelerator, is an independent non-profit association, set up as a public-private partnership by the Luxembourgish State and a dozen private partners with deep experience in impact finance, with a mission to accelerate the impact finance leaders of tomorrow across the globe.
🚀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, in 2024, we had 64 eligible applicants for the ICFA programme and selected only 5 high-impact, innovative fund managers to be part of the 2024 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, 👇view the introduction to our initiative.👇
⚠️ Please note: Starting this year, the ISFA programme will align with the selection process of its sister programme, the ICFA, by requiring additional documents at the Expression of Interest phase. ⚠️
