OCTANE FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION

Non-Profit Accelerator

Grow the strength and the resilience of the OC innovation ecosystem by helping non-profit organizations better serve their communities by optimizing their resources, building capacity and sustainability, and increasing their impact. This initiative is sponsored by a partnership with Edwards Lifesciences Foundation.

The goals of the initiative are:

• Employ LaunchPad methodology to evaluate and enhance organization effectiveness

• Coach practical preparation for growth and funding presentations

• Connect to resources, subject matter experts and funding opportunities

The Non-Accelerator produced an annual NPA 2.0 Summit and Pitch Lab to help graduating non-profit organizations network and connect with resources.
