Description: Queen Anne’s County Economic & Tourism Development (QACETD) invites proposals from qualified entities to deliver innovative and impactful services for the continuation and expansion of its minority business training accelerator program, now titled CatalystQ- The Catalyst of Minority Business Excellence in Queen Anne’s County.   This initiative seeks to build and strengthen the ecosystem for minority entrepreneurs and small business owners in Queen Anne’s County, Maryland. Launched in 2023 as a pilot program, the former minority business training accelerator program provided five minority entrepreneurs with targeted support, training, and micro-grants to develop and launch their businesses. Funded through the Rural Maryland Economic Development Fund, the program demonstrated success in fostering business creation, equity, and economic growth. With renewed funding, QACETD is expanding its business accelerator efforts and seeks a qualified partner to implement a dynamic suite of services that address key barriers faced by minority entrepreneurs, including access to capital, business knowledge, legal and regulatory compliance, and networking.
