FedEx just reopened its E-Commerce Learning Lab for women entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs of color. The four-month program, created in partnership with Accion Opportunity Fund (AOF), provides hands-on support to help businesses either start selling online or scale their current e-commerce operations.

Selected businesses will receive a $2K grant, along with access to e-commerce courses and workshops, coaching, online sales support, and networking opportunities. To be eligible, businesses must have a shelf-stable product, have been in operation for at least six months, and have earned less than $500K revenue in 2021.

AOF and FedEx are also offering free on-demand online courses in digital marketing, operations, legal, finance, and social media marketing.

Applications are open now through Friday, April 1. To apply for the lab or access course series, visit aofund.org/program/fedex.
