Impacto Business Accelerator
Through the Impacto Business Accelerator, The PepsiCo Foundation is investing $10 million to provide capital and small business coaching to 500 food and beverage businesses by 2025. Small, local businesses face challenges due to historical inequalities and systemic barriers, which have been intensified by inflationary pressures and worker shortages.
Businesses chosen to participate in our Impacto program will have access to business training and coaching from nonprofit partners serving business owners in their community.
Applications are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied. Please check back for the latest news and program information.
The PepsiCo Foundation has partnered with four nonprofit partners to deliver the Impacto program in 10 markets in 2023. These partners will provide business coaching and training to all Impacto participants and select 100 businesses to receive a grant of $10,000 each. Find the nonprofit partner closest to you for more information about Impacto and other business support services!
