Call for Applications Social Impact Incubator for Local NGOs and Social Entreprises
Overview:
Segal Family Foundation (SFF) is seeking to promote the strength and impact of social innovations in Sub-Saharan African countries, including Rwanda. SFF believes there is an opportunity to draw on the efforts of the government, private sector, local organizations, INGOs, funders, and investors to build a robust response to Rwanda’s most pressing challenges. Thus, we have created the Social Impact Incubator (SII), located in Kigali, Rwanda.
Through 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.
