The Institute for SEL Impact Fund, in partnership with Philanthropic Ventures Foundation, was established to support IFSEL's financial aid program for individuals, schools, and districts. IFSEL is committed to ensuring equitable access to our programs for all educators, with the belief that financial barriers should not limit opportunities for growth and development. The Fund also supports innovative program development to help IFSEL meet the changing needs of young people.
