The Call for Expression of Interest for the inaugural ISFA 2025 Cohort is now open until 28 February 2025.
The ISFA offers an innovative multi-year programme that accelerates emerging fund managers focusing on 3 key pillars for social impact:
đ Decent Work across the Value-chain
đ Adequate Living Standards and Wellbeing
đ 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, visit our dedicated ISFA programme website.
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.
