PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS : HOW FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATE PARTNERS HELP TAP AMPLIFY ITS IMPACT

At The Acceleration Project (TAP), our mission to empower underresourced small businesses would not be possible without the vital support of foundations and corporate partners. These partnerships are instrumental in scaling TAP's services, driving community impact, and creating opportunities for entrepreneurs who need it most. Here's how foundations and corporate partnerships amplify TAP's impact and foster sustainable growth for small businesses across communities.

Corporate and foundation funding allows TAP to expand its reach, providing more small businesses with the consulting services they need to thrive. Grants and contributions support everything from the recruitment and training of volunteer consultants to the development of customized programs tailored to the unique challenges small businesses face.
​
Support from the Apollo Opportunity Foundation (AOF) plays a vital role in scaling TAP's mission. The AOF seeks to expand opportunity globally by investing in career education, workforce development, and economic empowerment, with TAP being one of the 25 nonprofit organizations selected to receive support. This transformative grant enhances TAP's operational capacity, enabling tailored services to help entrepreneurs overcome systemic barriers and achieve sustainable growth, fostering economic mobility and entrepreneurship

Foundations and corporate partners bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to TAP's mission. By collaborating on initiatives that align with their philanthropic goals, these partners help TAP address systemic barriers and create pathways for economic equity.
​
By working with partners like the AOF and other leading organizations, TAP continuously evolves its approach to meet the needs of small businesses. This adaptability ensures TAP's services remain impactful and relevant, contributing to lasting change.

The ripple effect of these partnerships extends beyond individual business owners. By strengthening small businesses, TAP helps to create jobs, drive economic growth, and revitalize Main Street. Foundation and corporate support amplify this impact, enabling TAP to serve more communities and foster a culture of entrepreneurship and resilience.

In celebration of our partnership with the Apollo Opportunity Foundation, TAP's Co-founder and CEO, Jane Veron, recently attended AOF's three-year anniversary event, recognizing our shared commitment to expanding opportunities for underresourced communities.
