An accelerator is:
Team Driven
Mentor Guided
Challenge Specific
Mission Focused
Mentors will support the organizations in the accelerator and attend each of the 9 sessions and Demo Day with them. They are a sounding board, a cheerleader, an accountability partner, and a guide. Past mentors said they loved the opportunity to add value to their teams and the majority felt like they succeeded in that.

Demo Day: Nov 15 evening. Nonprofits will have the opportunity to pitch to an audience of funders, supporters, and colleagues.

Testimonials
“Take advantage of the time with the mentor- extremely helpful!”
“[What I liked best was] The breakout sessions with staff and our mentor. Having the space and time for those conversations which are hard to prioritize in the normal flow of organizational to-dos.”
