Is this Incubator for nonprofits or for profits?
Both! SEG works with a wide range of legal entities and structures for social enterprises, including for-profits and nonprofits. We also have a growing number of co-ops and B corps in our ecosystem, and we work with hybrids (for-profits that may have a non-profit affiliate) or non-profits with a for-profit subsidiary.
How is the program structured?
- 12 two-hour workshops, a mix of in-person and virtual by topic
- Fall sessions in the evenings; spring sessions during the day
- Regular check-ins with program leads plus advisor and network referrals
- Online content, community, and resources for added support
How much does the program cost?
SEG invests over $5,000 in each Impact Accelerator participant, but we do not charge for participation. Grant funding and generous donations make this possible.
While there’s no fee, we encourage Pay It Forward contributions from alumni to help fuel our mission and support the next wave of impactful entrepreneurs.
