The Social Innovation Forum is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2016-2017 Social Innovator Accelerator cohort. We believe these organizations represent greater Boston's most promising approaches to addressing some of our community's toughest social issues.
We received more than 130 applications across seven social issue tracks this year. We’d like to extend a special thanks to our evaluation committee, a group of 100 social issue experts, funders, and practitioners, who helped us select this outstanding group! The 32 organizations listed below recently completed the finalist interview process and will undergo final due diligence before seven Social Innovators are selected in early December.
