Who should apply? In short, nonprofit ideas that address lower to middle-income countries are prioritized, but if your idea can be applied in a high income country, we still encourage you to apply. We accept nonprofits/nonprofit ideas which will have programs with beneficiaries. If your idea is to sell an item that has a social good, there are many accelerators for you but this is not one of them. We do not consider applications for organizations which will exist only to raise awareness about an issue. To be a good fit for Athari Group, in addition to proposing a program with clear beneficiaries, your idea should be addressing an issue which is either not being addressed or you are approaching it in a new way.
Please note that if you are member or graduate of one of our partners who nominate candidates into our accelerator, primarily LALA and Mandela Washington Fellowship, you need to go through their nomination process first.
