Social Innovation Fund and Accelerator

SAB Foundation

The Social Innovation Fund is an acceleration fund open to all previous winners of the Social Innovation and Disability Empowerment Awards. It provides access to a business accelerator and further funding to help social innovators grow, addressing challenges such as market access, revenue models, and capital for growth. The fund was established in response to a national 'missing middle' of growth phase funders for social innovation in South Africa.
