The Orthodox Union launched the OU Impact Accelerator to support entrepreneurial ventures addressing our communal challenges.

We partner nonprofit entrepreneurs, successful professionals, and OU resources to work on the most impactful projects and share our growing knowledge base.

The Impact Accelerator is built on mentorship-based growth and early-stage funding for Jewish nonprofit entrepreneurs with the next groundbreaking ideas. The cohort of entrepreneurs participates in a customized curriculum of business skills and receives coaching, funding, and implementation strategies to accelerate their ventures that are solving our community’s most significant needs.

October 2018 was the launch of the first cohort, which culminated with the OU Impact Accelerator Demo Day in September 2019.

We are always working to find the most impactful projects that truly meet the needs of our community. Let’s innovate together!
