DONORS: The Academy's donor audience is comprised of individuals, foundations, and corporations who are interested in supporting economic development, making a positive impact in the world, and compassionately helping individuals, families, and communities to prosper.

The Academy continues to have a close connection to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has been an important network and partner. Donors who are aligned with the values and mission of the Church may be particularly interested in supporting the Academy's work, because of these strong ties. However, the Academy is committed to serving individuals and communities of all faiths, and its programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all.

STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS: The Academy's staff and volunteer audience is a group of passionate and dedicated individuals who believe in the power of entrepreneurship, business development, and economic empowerment. The staff members are highly skilled professionals who bring their expertise to bear on the challenge of making a difference in the world. Meanwhile, the volunteers are often graduates of the Academy's programs who feel a personal connection to the organization and want to share their knowledge with others.

PARTICIPANTS: The Academy's participant audience is made up of a diverse group of individuals of faith in developing countries who are looking for ways to improve their economic future. While some know they want to start or grow their own businesses, others are still exploring their options and may not yet have considered entrepreneurship as a path to success. Regardless of their background or experience, these individuals often have limited access to traditional sources of business training and support.

Participants are drawn to join the Academy's programs because of the success they see in those who have gone through its programs or represent the organization.

The Academy stands out among international organizations by providing practical training that empowers individuals and communities to build lasting businesses. With ACE's programs, participants gain the skills, resources, and connections they need to start or grow a business that can provide for themselves and their families. The Academy believes that sustainable businesses are the key to creating lasting change

En la Academia para la Creación de Empresas, creemos en empoderar a las personas de adentro hacia afuera. Si bien muchas organizaciones en el ámbito de desarrollo económico se enfocan en cambiar el entorno externo, sabemos que el verdadero cambio proviene del interior y que el verdadero cambio debe extenderse de una generación a la siguiente. Es por eso que nos dedicamos a ayudar a los aspirantes y empresarios a ser autosuficientes, a que construyan negocios duraderos para que puedan mantenerse a sí mismos y a sus familias y poner a sus hijos en una trayectoria de mayor fe y autosuficiencia. A través de capacitación práctica, recursos y conexiones, estamos ayudando a las personas a desarrollar las habilidades, la mentalidad y la confianza que necesitan para labrar su propio éxito. Sabemos que al cambiar al individuo, podemos ayudar a transformar comunidades enteras e impulsar el crecimiento económico, no solo por ahora, sino para las generaciones venideras. Nuestro objetivo no es solo moldear el comportamiento, sino empoderar a las personas para que cambien sus propias vidas y construyan un mejor futuro para todos.

At the Academy for Creating Enterprise, our approach to economic development is unlike any other.

That means ongoing mentoring, coaching, and support as they navigate the challenges of building a business. We know that starting a business is hard work, but with our unique combination of faith-based values, applied techniques, and ongoing support, we're helping entrepreneurs achieve success that lasts.
