Unlock Your Potential: The Level-Up Nonprofit Accelerator

Please note that we're currently reimagining our accelerator experience. Stay tuned for details.

Humans have the amazing ability to find solutions for any community need. But how do you turn those ideas into sustainable enterprises? The LUNA ACCELERATOR is designed specifically for small or emerging organizations ready grow and deliver more on their mission.

We're a learning community of people passionate about their organization's impact. Your entry to the community begins with a 23-week experience of asynchronous and live workshops that will lead you to the growth and sustainability you seek. You'll be part of a cohort-based journey, one that's more like two semesters of college than a random collection of webinars. It's interactive and definitely right for those who are truly ready to level-up.

The good news is that partial scholarships are available from a generous family foundation. But make no mistake: there are obligations on your part. Don't worry, we'll be with you every step of the way.
