Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub Receives Two Foundation Grants
Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub, a startup accelerator for early and mid-stage social enterprise ventures, is grateful to announce it has received grants from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation and the Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation.
The Foundation's investment will allow Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub to continue to provide technical support and coaching for social enterprises inspired to make our communities more equitable and sustainable through innovation and entrepreneurship.
Elevate Equity is a series of programming options for early-stage startups focused on supporting founders inspired to address systemic race and gender inequities through entrepreneurship.
Flywheel has equipped 187+ social entrepreneurs with the tools and skills needed to expand their impact. Since 2019, our accelerators have helped launch 29 social enterprises–80% of which are still in operation today. 55% of our founders are women and 41% are BIPOC. The ventures our founders launch are employing over 100 people.
