From the Social-Impact website [1] and Via ThinkChange India [2]:

Social-Impact is a new international professional development program. Their goal is to accelerate growth and increase impact of social entrepreneurs’ projects and/or organizations. Social-Impact’s programme provides social entrepreneurs with:

• Mentoring
• Training
• Technical assistance consulting
• Networking opportunities and
• Access to financing

Social-Impact's comprehensive and customized technical and financial services will enable social entrepreneurs to scale their organizations. The program is offered to select candidates who have demonstrated exceptional progress in creating projects or programs which address social issues.The application can be found here [3].

In what is perhaps a sign of change in the way we look at social innovation, Social-Impact plans to have one-third of the 2008 cohort to be constituted of organizations that have significant earned income.
