Announcement

This year marks seven years since the start of DO GOOD X, and we're pausing from running this program in 2024. We're taking this time to intentionally refine and build our efforts, cultivate relationships, and prepare to launch two accelerator cohorts in 2025. Applications for the 2025 cohorts will launch in the fall of 2024. Sign up for our newsletter to get notified about the 2025 applications.

Accelerator Participants will:

DISCERN

The problem your business addresses, your ideal paying customer, your social good footprint, and what makes your venture unique and competitive.

DEVELOP

The value your business offers, your revenue model, and pricing.

DELIVER

Your solution with the right team of people and measure your impact.

DEMO

Your business idea and pitch it at the virtual DO GOOD X Pitch for Good.


Jennifer Williams

“DO GOOD X gave me the space to finally turn the idea that's been marinating my soul and spirit out of my head into a legitimate business proposition that I am confident will succeed. There is no environment—in person or virtual—that could have instilled me with the confidence and boldness to pursue my social enterprise.”

Why DO GOOD X?

DO GOOD X has three components that make social entrepreneurs’ experience stand out:

We empower underrepresented social entrepreneurs and provide them with a community of peers and mentors, an interactive process to clarify their business's purpose, and access to resources to advance their businesses.

We provide a participatory, interactive, and engaging program with mentors, entrepreneurs, tools, and resources to take businesses to the next level.

We address and cultivate principles of faith essential to entrepreneurs’ resiliency and work for good in the world.

“I genuinely don't know how I would be anywhere near as prepared and resourced to launch my business in such a short time without the knowledge and support of the cohort, program leaders, and my mentor.”
