Acceptance of Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program Grant

We have been approved for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts’ Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program Grant! This grant is administered by the Council’s Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) Partners.

In May of 2022, we worked with Tom Keiffer from the Penn State SBDC and applied for the Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program Grant through the Centre Foundation in State College, PA and was awarded an amount that will help us support our mission and vision.

Our goal is to help people any way we can. We help to empower small businesses, organizations, professionals, and individuals to keep moving forward and believe in themselves. By using the funds we receive from this grant, we will be able to introduce ourselves more to small businesses, organizations, professionals, and individuals, and tell them about who we are, what we do, and why we do it. In return, these individuals will ask for help and guidance with their challenges. If we can’t help them with a service we offer, we will connect them to other services that can help them.

Use of Grant Funds:

  • Join and attend more local chamber of commerce organizations along with other local networking events and groups
  • Marketing and promotions of our services such as advertising in local newspapers, email marketing, social media, magazines, flyers, mailings, sponsorships, and/or Google Ads
  • Purchase a new camera that will allow us to go to client businesses/organizations and take pictures of their products and services to advertise on their advertising platforms. This is already a service we provide and having a better performing camera than the one we currently have, will help our clients portray their products and services in a more creative way.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to inspire others to be better together through challenges, hard work, helping others, and love. Through our training programs, workshops, education, and support, we enrich the lives of others and their communities. It is our goal to help people become the best version of themselves so their lives can inspire others.

Our Vision:

Our vision supports our efforts of building others up by focusing on their strengths rather than their limitations. Through collaboration and acknowledgement of our own limitations, our communities will become stronger places for everyone. Our hope is to create a ripple effect throughout our world of love, kindness, and positivity.
