Fall 2025 NPA Graduation

Octane's Non-Profit Accelerator Application

Spring 2025

Through Octane’s partnership with Edwards Lifesciences Foundation, we are proud to offer non-profits in our community the opportunity to participate in Octane’s Non-Profit Accelerator program.  

The Non-Profit Accelerator program leverages Octane’s nationally-recognized accelerator program, LaunchPad, and has tailored the process to support the specific needs of non-profits. The Non-Profit Accelerator program is intended to increase awareness of a non-profit’s organization, mission, and supporting capabilities to further enhance their ability build capacity and have a sustaining impact in our community. View eligibility requirements here.

The 12-week program has been designed for STEAM, health, environment, education and community focused non-profits to engage with non-profit subject matter experts, business, foundation and community leaders and a cohort of peers.
