Spring for Small Business® - April 16, 2026

Spring for Small Business® was The Acceleration Project’s signature benefit, an inspiring evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and connection at Level 10 in the Starrett-Lehigh Building. The event brought together leaders from finance, philanthropy, and the small business community to celebrate impact, entrepreneurship, and the small business owners driving local economies forward.

TAP was honored to recognize Matt Nord, Co-Head of Private Equity and Head of Hybrid at Apollo, for his leadership and commitment to economic empowerment, and to present TAP’s 3rd Annual Small Business Owner of the Year Award to an exceptional TAP client.

Although the event has passed, the opportunity to support its mission continues. Contributions are still being accepted through May 15 to help TAP launch the journey forward for small business owners nationwide.
