Applications for our 2025 cohort will open in July 2024!

The REDF Accelerator is a 5-month, hands-on program designed to equip social enterprise leaders with the connections, skills, and tools to grow their enterprises and create meaningful jobs. 

During this highly interactive five-month program, you’ll work alongside your peers to learn and put into practice the methods, skills, and tools needed to achieve big goals and reach key milestones. And there’s no fee to participate. You can learn more about our program here.

The benefits don’t end after those five months―once you have successfully completed the REDF Accelerator, you will receive a $20,000 grant to implement some of the high- impact lessons learned during the Accelerator. You’ll also become part of REDFs Community of 150+ leading employment social enterprises located around the country, gaining access to additional skill-building resources, capacity building from the REDF team, and the opportunity to continue to learn alongside your peers.  

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and spots in the Winter 2024 Cohort will fill up early. We will reopen applications for our 2025 cohort in July 2024.
