Meet the new 2026 Impact Accelerator cohort

Latin America needs new solutions to challenges that cannot wait.

These 10 social impact organizations are ready to build them.

Meet the 2026 winners of the Propel Impact Accelerator. Over the next eight months, they will design and build AI-powered solutions to expand their impact.
