WHAT WE DO

Here Is A Little Background

The Advancement Foundation (TAF), a nonprofit founded in 2007 works in concert with economic and community development organizations to execute key strategies that provide infrastructure, support, and resources to create an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem. TAF has researched, tested, and refined specific initiatives that help unify activities for small business development, increase support, and leverage resources to provide measurable impact on small business development for the communities it serves.

TAF is uniquely positioned to provide both locality specific initiatives, as well as cross regional synergies to assist communities. As a trusted community partner with economic development offices, chambers, Main Street organizations, Virginia Tourism, DHCD, Small Business Development Centers, SBA, USDA, libraries and others, TAF is able to implement projects efficiently and effectively.

Through a combination of support services focused on coordinating financial resources, training, community engagement, mentoring, and cluster based initiatives, TAF is able to impact measurable growth for the communities we serve. Join the conversation and get involved in our process, today.
