Our Story
Accelerate Change was founded in 2023 out of a deep love for the South—and a deep frustration with how too many nonprofits in the region were being overlooked. Bold missions were going unheard. Grassroots leaders were working tirelessly, yet struggling to raise the support they needed to grow. The issue wasn’t the impact. It was that their stories weren’t being told in a way that truly reflected their power.
​
Accelerate Change exists to change that. As a community-centered, equity-driven firm, we help Southern nonprofits reclaim and amplify their voices. We believe that every organization has a story worth telling—and that story, when shaped with care and authenticity, can unlock lasting support and deeper community connection.
​
We don’t just craft messages; we honor legacies, lift lived experiences, and build narratives that fuel change. Because in the South, storytelling isn’t just tradition—it’s a tool for justice.
Mission
