Common Future Accelerator Program [Due Nov. 3rd]

Through our three-month-long accelerator program, Common Future invests in a cohort of 10 BIPOC women- and non-binary-led organizations that are actively working to dismantle economic inequality by giving power back to communities left out of prosperity.

The Common Future Accelerator-2024 Cohort aims to support organizations that are working to eliminate social, financial, and political obstacles in order to close the racial wealth gap and make economic power accessible to everyone, regardless of their race and class.

Timeline and Application Process:

The Common Future Accelerator has a rolling application period from October 3 to November 3, 2023. After submitting an initial application, top candidates will be asked to provide a final proposal between November 30 and December 14, 2023. Following this, there will be a Selection Bootcamp on January 30 and 31, 2024, for top organizations. Invitations for interviews will be sent by mid-February 2024, with interviews taking place with the Director of Portfolio Advancement and a committee member. The final participants for the Common Future Accelerator-2024 Cohort will be selected by no later than March 1, 2024, with a total of ten participants chosen.

Ideal Candidates:

An organization that has a model or big idea that will help close the racial wealth gap has the potential for exponential impact and is seeking additional capacity-building support. We want to support BIPOC women- and non-binary-led organizations that have designed and tested solutions in their own communities and are now ready for sustainable growth and scale. We’ll provide them equitable access to capital, community, and knowledge. Then, we’ll connect them to the right people, so that they can take that vision to the next level—and empower the communities they serve.
