CEA Cohort 4

Application window: Sunday, July 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM EDT – Monday, August 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT.

The Community Enterprise Accelerator is a nine-month fellowship for Bronx entrepreneurs, built on capital, coaching, and a community of business owners growing alongside one another. Fellows receive $15,000 in grant capital and partner with a college apprentice on real business work. The program exists to address the structural barriers and systemic inequities faced by historically marginalized entrepreneurs in The Bronx — priority consideration goes to applicants whose participation advances that mission.

After applications close, our team reviews every submission. Finalists are invited to interview in the fall, and Cohort 4 fellows are announced in November. We'll email you at each stage to let you know where you stand.
