FUNDING TYPE

Accelerator

CAN YOU GET THIS?

You qualify if you own a minority-owned or women-owned business that has been operating for at least one year.

The program is Savannah-based and in-person (Tuesdays, 5:30–7:30 p.m.), so you need to be local or able to attend in person. There is no stated revenue or industry requirement.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Only 15 spots are available per cohort, making this highly competitive.

This is the third cohort, so the program is established but small. With a strict 15-participant cap, the acceptance rate depends entirely on the application pool — but assume it is selective.

WHAT IT TAKES

Apply through the City of Savannah website — 1–3 hours (application is described as more detailed this year)
Attend 12 weekly in-person sessions if accepted — June 30 – Sept. 22, 2026, Tuesdays 5:30–7:30 p.m.

WORTH KNOWING

The 2026 application has more detailed requirements than prior years — organizers extended the deadline specifically to give applicants more time to complete it. Budget extra time and treat it carefully.
