WE DO NOT ISSUE GRANTS!
EEF-501c does not award grants, nor have we ever been a grant-giving Foundation. That was decided in order to preserve our ability to meet everyone’s needs in a timely manner. Conversely, while we assist in other aspects of the grant lifecycle, we do not write grants or proposals for the same reasons. Instead we have alternative deliveries of those services including partners and by Fellows immersed in in our Fellowships Academy Professional & Leadership Development.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND CONTACT INFO
We are a small group C-level Executives with 50+ years of instinct and experience. Some still work, some are well past beyond retirement, others fit both bills. ALL are Volunteering to help our Peer Exempt Leaders ensure they become exempt business savvy and are successful on both the business and exempt side of the coin. Our time is spent Supporting Awardees & Program Participants and other Stakeholders. Our operations are not only gap-filling but also training mechanisms delivered in real-time so that everyone coming to us whether a new exempt leader/business owner, Intern or Fellow master their respective roles and successfully prepare for what that exposure will transition them into, wanted or not.
We ask that you refrain from emailing inquiries about how our sponsorship work, eligibility, and which is best for you. EVERYTHING about us and our programs that is not confidential is published and available 24/7, always has been. Only you can determine how your business needs to operate to be successful in fulfilling your mission. We are here to connect, train, innovate, and otherwise secure what’s needed to help you get there.
WE SPONSOR BASED ON BUSINESS/OPERATIONAL NEEDS, NOT THE MISSIO.
Our sponsor based on how your business model and how it needs to operate in order to achieve its purpose. Mission has no impact on approval, only our ability to meet the business need requested. If a business cant properly function it wont have a mission to pursue.
Our Program has explicitly detailed info. Its available 24/7 by download so you can review assess at your leisure. We encourage careful inspection to determine your best course of action so its laid out side-by-side by Sponsorship type and Grouping.

Our efforts are designed to deploy with ease remain balanced to assure everyone is served equally.
Thank you for respecting and adhering to our process so we can remain on-point delivering what you need.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE CENTER (TASC)
Need sponsorship type/level of assistance but without he sponsorship commitment, no problem. early in our history as a Charitable Foundation we implemented the fist of many our parent entities consulting services as a dedicated program then officially as TASC, the “Technical Assistance Service Center” it was needed for Awardees graduating from Sponsorship who wanting to preserve our programmatic relationship.
TASC operates from a consulting agreement which, like our Special Circumstance Sponsorship, combines the Application & Registration Program to receive a full complement of supports, access to business recourses connections, etc. only available thru us because its OUR INTERNAL resources we’ve been share with our Stakeholders.
Unlike sponsorship there is no Right-to-Represent Agreement because we cannot legally accept funds on your behalf, that legal commitment is called a Fiscal Sponsorships legally its is primary purpose. So on face value its straightforward consultant-client relationship with no programmatic commitments or limitations on how long you can participate. Behind the scenes, TASC is exceedingly more, monumentally more expansive than other consulting offerings. TASC is both a part and a reflection of EEF501c-BizInc’s network of charitable economic delivery systems. This small business universe is an equal exchange of smallbiz insider-to-insider resources, contacts, innovations, opportunities and $$$ monetary pipelines designed to feed-off and grow itself like compounding interest.
The 501c Business Incubator Council™ and later its lead charity EEF-501c™ began as volunteer work helping startups, mostly tax-exempt startups. As a Solopreneur the contrast between what was available as a for profit business vs. what was unavailable, restricted to the same person a 501c insulted the intelligence.
Exempt business is a legally registered business concern. As we are doing the exact same work WHY does there continue to be a difference in available resource or asset assistance when for profit & tax-exempts are both are legal business concerns. Dunno, matters not! We’ve got better!
Not only do we experience this first-hand we continued to learn from peers, stakeholders, former Awardees, clients, & others of the same blockages happening as time passes on. So, we didn’t spend time begging to be included we’ve spent that time building our own infrastructure.
So 501cBizInc Cncl™ has spent the last several years converting its internal resources, its charitable programs & services and several innovations into a network of legally recognized national charitable entities to serve the Tax-Exempt Business Entity (TEBE)™ and is reopening from COVID to facilitate support delivery system.
… and its doing so thru its national network of business assets, resources, supplies, and financial institutions to share with our exempt business peers.
Chartering our own national Federal Credit Union is a key part of our support infrastructure going well beyond the small dollar lending we’ve done to date. Guaranteeing we as 501cs ALWAYS have banking services that cater to our unique needs as a legal business concern that just happens to be a tax-exempt means we can move-n-groove as WE see fit, when we see fit, no barriers, no exclusions, with no problems — ever! These assets are already here!
Letter of Support (LOS) are encouraged by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). NCUA is the Chartering body that forms, governs, and regulates Federal Credit Unions.
A profound Thank-You is extended to Eliana’s Light and the many others who have provided Letters of Support (LOS). We’ve included them in our Pre-Charter Application and we will continue include new ones to add to our portfolio for NCUA to record in support of our 501cFCU™ Charter as that process progresses.
If you would like to contribute, we are accepting letters supporting establishing a dedicated business banking institution for 501c’s as well as Promissory Commitment Letters (PCL) promising a commitment of funds to help with the FCUs pre-launch obligations/activities and its post launch operations, email your Correspondence to ISupport@501cFCU.org or snail mail it to the Incubator & Foundation at:
