Apply Now for Second Five & Rising Community Cohort
Social Current
October 28, 2025
To grow the momentum and urgency around Five & Rising, we’re looking to select the second community cohort. Building on the foundation of the first cohort, this group will continue to advance the work and expand the movement by:
- Reframing the narrative of the social sector as the backbone of our shared future and an economic force driving lasting change.
- Strengthening leadership and building community capacity in advocacy, communications, and organizational resilience.
- Collaborating across sectors with philanthropy, business, and government to launch solutions designed to last.
- Building local models to be scaled nationally to show how communities can secure bold funding and shift harmful norms holding the sector back.
The first step in being considered for the upcoming Five & Rising cohort is to complete this initial application by Jan. 16. All applications will be screened with top prospects notified of next steps in February 2026.
