Ready to sharpen your financial edge?
With support from the Citi Foundation, The Acceleration Project (TAP) is excited to invite you to apply for EDGE (Economic Development & Growth for Entrepreneurs).
With generous support from the Citi Foundation, the EDGE program is designed to help small business owners strengthen their personal and business financial health, through ongoing coaching opportunities with TAP financial experts. The EDGE program leverages the Financial Health Network’s FinHealth Score® framework, with coaching modules following four pillars of financial excellence - Save, Spend, Borrow, and Plan.
Through this program, participating small business owners can expect to receive:
- No-cost small business coaching to level up your personal and business financial skills, beginning in early February.
- Small group coaching (up to four business owners), 1:1 coaching sessions, peer learning opportunities, and more, all held virtually and scheduled at your convenience.
- An opportunity to win a cash award from a $10,000 prize pool!
The following application is divided into three portions: general information, FinHealth questionnaire, and a milestones checklist. It should take about 15-minutes to complete.
Please answer as honestly as possible - your candor will ensure we can properly evaluate your success, and create a baseline through which we will measure progress (i.e. milestone completion). Making progress toward your goals will be a part of qualifying for a cash award at the end of the program!
Application Deadline: February 18th at 5:00pm ET
Please note that businesses must be located in New York City or Westchester County. Upon submission, you will be invited to attend a program kickoff session as a next step.
If you have any questions about this program or the application, please feel free to reach out to TAP.edge@theaccelerationproject.org.
Please be prepared to complete the entire application in one sitting. You will not be able to save your progress.
