iProBono Accelerate Program Cohort 2026 | Up to $10,000 in Funding
Applications are now open for the iProBono Accelerate Program Cohort 2026. ACCELERATE is iProBono’s flagship movement-building initiative, designed to empower grassroots organisations, emerging movements, and exceptional individuals working in social justice who have already demonstrated impact in their communities and are ready to grow, strengthen their work, and drive lasting change.
At its core, ACCELERATE invests in people and ideas that are already driving change, equipping them with the tools, networks, and strategic support needed to transform grassroots action into systemic impact.
The programme supports grassroots leaders across South Asia, a region rich with individuals and organisations developing the systems and solutions their communities need. This year’s cohort will focus on Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, with the programme expected to expand its reach across the region in the coming years.
