The Apolitical Foundation Accelerator
The only global launch pad for non-partisan political leadership incubators.
Growing the non-partisan movement updating representative political leadership.
As our flagship program, the Apolitical Foundation Accelerator collaborates with political entrepreneurs to establish non-partisan political leadership incubators (PLIs). These PLIs are crucial in guiding the new, diverse, and reform-minded people we need into politics.
To date, the Apolitical Foundation has helped launch seven PLIs serving 25 countries.

How We Work With Founders
Founders
PLI founders are hand selected for annual cohorts following a rigorous application process. Founders hail from all over the world.
Teams
Founders join the Accelerator in teams and innovate in their local context while contributing to a global movement.
After the Accelerator
Accelerated PLIs are founded from their countries or regions’ grassroots, are completely independent and do not share an operational relationship with the Apolitical Foundation.
