Key Topics Covered:
The ACCELER8 Program Beyond the Bootcamp, the Center runs the ACCELER8 program, an 8-week intensive designed specifically for nonprofits. ACCELER8 equips nonprofit leaders with the tools, knowledge, and networks to effectively drive their missions forward. We discuss the curriculum, the mentorship aspect, and the unique challenges and opportunities in nonprofit entrepreneurship.
The Shark-Tank-Style Donor Pitch Event Perhaps the most exhilarating part of the journey is the shark-tank-style donor pitch event. Here, EVERYONE in the audience is a judge. Participants, having completed the ACCELER8 program, get to present their learning and growth plans to the community.
