Propeller is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting social innovation in New Orleans. Our mission is to grow and support entrepreneurs to tackle social and environmental disparities. We envision a powerful community of diverse entrepreneurs and stakeholders working together for a more equitable future where everyone can lead healthy, fulfilling lives free of racism, poverty, and other systems of oppression.
Our strategy is to build a critical mass of entrepreneurs working to solve key challenges in our issue areas of food access, water management, health, and educational equity in order to make significant change for underserved individuals.
At the heart of Propeller’s mission lies our Impact Accelerator programs, designed to support social entrepreneurs throughout the business lifecycle—from idea, to beta, to growth. Since June 2011, Propeller has accelerated 100+ ventures. Read more about our impact.
