Social Impact Incubator
Our Incubator
Through the Social Impact Incubator (SII), we aim to create an environment for innovators to amplify and grow their impact, by providing tools, building networks, and connecting them to investment. SII is built to transform organizations at three levels: individual, organizational, and ecosystem. We believe that supporting visionary leaders builds strong and stable organizations that create a more cohesive ecosystem for young social entrepreneurs to be successful.
How we do it:
- Seven months of in-class training to support system strengthening
- Individualized coaching and mentoring to address organizational and leadership needs
- Convening investors, donors, and other community members throughout the year
Between 2013 and 2022, we witnessed great success of the program—with over 170 local organizations participating across Burundi, Malawi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania. The incubator resulted in multiple new partnerships for Segal, and funders invested over $15 million in our SII Champions.
In 2025, we are bringing the Social Impact Incubator to West Africa. Alongside our friends at Partners for Equity, we are identifying and nurturing locally-led visionaries in Benin, Senegal, and Togo.
