Details

New Orleans faces many pressing, systemic social problems, but no one can solve them alone. Smart, innovative people are ready to tackle these issues, and they need our help. We call these people “social entrepreneurs.“ Propeller is the only non-profit in New Orleans dedicated exclusively to supporting social entrepreneurs by enabling individuals to start and grow innovative, entrepreneurial, sustainable, and results-focused solutions to social and/or environmental problems in New Orleans.

We will celebrate the impact of last year’s Propeller Accelerator social entrepreneurs and HUB NOLA, unveil Propeller’s new name and brand, and announce the 2012-2013 Propeller Accelerator Fellows. Proceeds from the Gala will go directly towards next year’s Social Venture Accelerator.

Cocktail attire required.

Who

You! And our large network of supporters, funders, social entrepreneurs, volunteers, business leader mentors, and corporations.

Tickets:

VIP Patron Hour + Gala ($80)
Gala ($30 in advance; $40 at door)

Honorary Chair: Leslie Jacobs, Founder of 504ward and Educate Now!, former insurance executive, and former BESE member
