Donate to Support Entrepreneurs
Changing the Future

Grid110 is an economic and community development non-profit dedicated to creating clear pathways to success for early-stage entrepreneurs. Since launching in 2015, we’ve provided 26 cohorts of early-stage companies with tailored programming, one-on-one mentoring, incredible exclusive perks for founders, and support from a thriving community of passionate, diverse, and generous leaders.

100% of your donation will directly impact individuals often overlooked by traditional startup ecosystems. Our impact looks like this:

🔥 Supporting 280+ companies across 40+ industries (Health & Wellness, Technology, CPG, Food & Bev, Retail, & more)

💰 Our founders have raised $123M in outside capital, with 70% of the funding raised by women founders and 72% of the funding raised by founders of color

🙌🏽 70% of our portfolio companies have a founder that identifies as a woman; 77% have a founder who identifies as a person of color; 14% have a founder who identifies as LGBTQ+. See some of our founders pictured below!

🌱 For every $1 donated, Grid110 generates $42 back into the community, in addition to the 626 local jobs Grid110 creates

Donate: Make the Entrepreneurial Path More Equitable, Inclusive, and Accessible

We do not take equity in exchange for participation in our programs, nor is there a fee that entrepreneurs have to pay to participate. That means the money a founder makes or raises for their company is theirs, and Grid110's work is 100% supported through partners and donors like you! Your donation fuels our efforts to support our founders, and investing in our community continues to allow us to provide resources and build an environment where entrepreneurs from all backgrounds feel welcomed and empowered to succeed.
