Our Purpose
Arkansas Economic acceleration foundation
Historically, rural states, such as Arkansas, have not benefited as greatly from the economic growth provided by sound business planning, the commercialization of technology, or the accumulation of venture capital as have the states of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and California. The Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation was created to address this issue. With its primary mission of educating budding entrepreneurs, seasoned entrepreneurs, and economic development, the Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation attempts to remove the uncertainties inherent to the concept through funding processes of commercial ventures.
Formed as a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation, the Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation actively engages, either directly or indirectly, in any and all activities that will educate, promote and foster the development of innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth within the State of Arkansas.
The Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation, an affiliate of the Arkansas Capital Corporation Group, is proud to host the Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup - a Collegiate Busines Plan Competition, the Donald W. Reynolds Tri-State Governor's Cup, and Y.E.S. for Arkansas - a Youth Entrepreneur Showcase.
