Coaching is scheduled to run from early February through September 2027.
Owners of small businesses on Staten Island can register interest in EDGE, a free program with applications scheduled to open in January 2027.
The Acceleration Project, a nonprofit, leads the program with support from the Citi Foundation. EDGE stands for Economic Development & Growth for Entrepreneurs and is returning after a pilot.
Coaching will cover personal and business finances together. Participants can take part in individual sessions, small groups and peer learning. The sessions follow the Financial Health Network's FinHealth Score framework, covering spending, saving, borrowing, planning and protection.
Businesses located in New York City or Westchester County are eligible. Owners can fill out the EDGE interest form to receive notice when applications open.
