Deadline: September 18, 2026
Applications are open for the iProBono Accelerate Program Cohort 2026. ACCELERATE is iProbono’s flagship movement-building initiative, empowering grassroots organisations, emerging movements, and exceptional individuals who are working in social justice who have already demonstrated impact in their communities and are ready to grow, strengthen, and drive lasting change.
At its core, ACCELERATE invests in people and ideas already driving change, equipping them with the tools, networks, and strategic support to turn grassroots action into systemic impact.
Their work spans across South Asia — a region rich with grassroots leaders already building the systems and solutions their communities need. This year, that work takes shape through a cohort in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, with their reach expanding further across the region in the years ahead.
Benefits
ACCELERATE selects a cohort of partner organisations for a defined support period. Each cohort receives structured, tailored engagement across five core areas, designed to meet you exactly where you are.
- Tailored Technical Assistance and Organisational Strengthening
- Seed funding
- Access to Legal Expertise & Pro Bono Support
- Peer Learning & Collaboration Opportunities
- Storytelling and Visibility
Eligibility
They welcome applications from across South Asia with a focus on Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They are looking to scale or sustain work already in progress. This includes early-stage, growing movements, organisations and individual activists.
- Who are working on access to justice, human rights or social equity
- Have demonstrated commitment and community trust.
- Are ready to strengthen their systems and scale their impact.
