We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—Xcelerate Women has been selected as one of Portland Business Journal’s 2025 nonprofit partners! This honor is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire community, and we couldn’t be more excited about what this partnership means for our mission.

Each year, the Portland Business Journal (PBJ) chooses a small group of nonprofits to support over the course of the year. The program recognizes organizations that are making meaningful impacts in their communities and provides them with valuable resources to help further their missions.

As a Portland Business Journal nonprofit partner, Xcelerate Women will receive:

• Free advertising opportunities to expand our reach and share the stories of the incredible women and gender expansive business owners we support.
• Tickets to PBJ’s events throughout the year, giving us access to important networking opportunities and meaningful conversations with leaders across Oregon.
• Ongoing editorial support, helping us amplify the work we’re doing to empower business owners in Oregon.

This partnership will help us continue to elevate the voices of women and gender expansive business owners and build even stronger connections within the business community.

We’re honored to stand alongside three other incredible organizations selected this year:

• Blanchet House: Providing meals, housing, and dignity to those experiencing homelessness and hunger.
• Clackamas Women’s Services: Supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence with essential resources and healing programs.
• Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon: Advocating for long-term solutions and direct service programs that support marginalized communities.

We’re so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to making the most of it to better serve the entrepreneurial community in Oregon. Thank you, Portland Business Journal, for believing in our mission and investing in our future.

Stay tuned for more updates on how this partnership unfolds!
