Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Outreach, knowledge and communications:the goal of the knowledge and communications team at acumen fund is to share what we are learning from our portfolio, to drive change in how the world tackles poverty, and to support a new approach that addresses poverty through entrepreneurial solutions. In 2010, we presented at leading conferences, published case-studies, and held workshops covering issues such as innovations in low-income housing.

Activity 3

Fellows program:acumen fund recognizes that building and investing in enterprises that serve the poor takes a new type of leader, one who combines hard business skills with the passion and empathy required to build lasting solutions to poverty. The acumen fund fellows program, launched in 2006, recruits and trains this new type of leader. The twelve month fellowship begins with an eight week leadership training program at acumen fund in new york, followed by a nine-month assignment in india, pakistan or east africa where fellows provide direct support to an acumen fund investee on critical business issues. To date, our first five classes of fellows encompassing 44 individuals have supported 23 of our portfolio companies.
