One Eleuthera Foundation (OEF) empowers communities across Eleuthera (The Bahamas) helping them transform into thriving, self-sufficient ecosystems. OEF develops initiatives that support all facets of community development including educational advancement, pathways to wellness, and economic empowerment through entrepreneurship and skills training.

There is a need to chart a course for the establishment of a non-profit accelerator in The Bahamas by determining its priorities, focus, and long-term development. OEF is positioning itself to lead this initiative with the publication of their concept paper on the Social Enterprise Accelerator. This project, directed by Keyron Smith and Kentisha Ward at OEF, will assist with organizing their efforts to scale the concept of an accelerator, affording them the opportunity to engage more stakeholders in the process, and secure additional sources of funding for the long term development of the accelerator.
