As a social entrepreneur, your project is already designed to create positive change. Instead of questioning whether it has a social impact, the key is to understand and measure how it transforms communities and systems.

The EDP Hope Fund Incubator is here to support you in structuring your growth and impact strategy.

Make sure to submit your application by 30 April 2026.
Our team will be in touch with a notification about the status of your application.
The more time you are able to dedicate, the better the results will be. We have structured the program so that you can complete all the activities in 6-8 hours per week, including a one-hour video call with your mentor and participation in workshops. This is your program. Also, remember that you will have to commit to dedicating at least 6 hours per week during the duration of the program (5 months) and that there will also be in-person sessions you will have to attend (we will take into account working hours to make it as easy as possible for you).
Nothing! This is a free program funded by EDP Hope Fund.
We recommend having a laptop or desktop computer and preferably one of these browsers: Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox.
Also, we expect you to have a stable and reliable internet connection both for your weekly review with your mentor and for participating in group calls.
Sure! Our program is designed to collaborate with your entire team. You can easily invite your team members to join your project and collaborate seamlessly on its development. You can work alongside a team member, but keep in mind that our platform does not allow live collaboration like with Google Docs (you will only see a team member’s edits after refreshing the page and you need to be careful not to “overwrite” each other’s inputs).
We hope our reputation speaks for itself on this issue! We treat your application and program data as confidential information. They are protected by our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, and your mentor will also sign a Mentorship Agreement that includes a confidentiality clause.
Your mentor will act as your guide throughout the program. Week after week, they will help you validate your strategy and design your growth plan. Mentors support you within the platform and meet with you once a week (usually through video calls) to validate your progress. It’s very important you prepare before the call to get the best of out of your mentor’s time!
While the incubation program does not offer direct funding, it offers you a validated methodology, tailored investment readiness trainings, and access to a global community of industry experts, to make you more investment-ready after the program.
Contact Bianca Breveglieri, Senior Program Manager of the EDP Hope Fund Incubator to answer all your questions.
She’ll be happy to hear from you!
