Accelerate your impact!
The Greater Sum Foundation supports innovation in the nonprofit
sector by providing funding, subject matter expertise, networking,
and professional development opportunities. We work with young nonprofits created to solve problems in new ways or established nonprofits entering new areas of work to do something innovative.
Our model for program services and grant funding has three stages:
8-week Nonprofit Incubator program, focused on financial strategy and nonprofit management
Pitch Competition, open to graduates of the incubator, grant prizes awarded by Greater Sum
Accelerator program, includes fundraising platform and access to TGS volunteer coaches and consultants
The incubator program is free but space is limited. Sign up for our newsletter HERE to be notified when it’s time to apply for our summer incubator session. Graduates of all sessions will be eligible to participate in the pitch competition. Winners of the pitch competition will be invited to participate in the accelerator.
