EGF Accelerator Fellows For the Win!

 
 
 

Every three years, our colleagues at Spark Youth comb through the city and find a roster of promising nonprofits for their thirty-six-month program. They supply grant money and tons of consulting support to help these organizations grow in scale and impact.


We are thrilled to see that two of our EGF Accelerator Fellows are part of the new Spark Youth cohort. Allison Shillingford, founder of Navigate the Maze to Achievement, which supports promising students on their pathway to specialized high schools in NYC. And Rina Madhani, founder of Start Lighthouse, which is turning defunct libraries in NYC public schools into vibrant literacy hubs.


Congrats to all!
