Details:

The purpose of this program is to support Pennsylvania’s creative entrepreneurs as they grow their business, audience, and revenue. This program will invest in socially or economically disadvantaged creative entrepreneurs. By doing so, the program will advance the PCA’s priorities of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

As part of their new community-centered strategic plan, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) has launched a new program to help creative entrepreneurs grow their businesses and revenue. This program will advance the PCA’s values of diversity, equity, and inclusion by prioritizing investment in socially or economically disadvantaged creative entrepreneurs and those who are located in, and whose work benefits low-income communities.

Fifty-one percent of the funds available for distribution in this program will be reserved for Black, Indigenous, or persons of color (BIPOC), or economically disadvantaged creative entrepreneurs and those who are located in and whose work benefits low-income communities. Low-income communities will be identified using the Small Business Administration’s low-income communities map. Nonprofit businesses will not be able to receive support through the Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator grant.
