The 501c Business Incubator Council, LLC (501c BizInc Council)™ and its lead charity, the Economic Empowerment Foundation for Exempt Startups & Small Businesses (EEF-501c)™ are excited to announce its inaugural Student Internship Program, we are calling it The Academic Partnership Initiative (API). We host two types of Intern/Fellowships, Internals and Programmatic.

Internal Intern/Fellowships are ongoing-on-the job training opportunities that prepare you for the role itself with interactive exposure to other areas, orgs, program operations within EEF501cBizInc‘s growing universe. Because our operations are unique, Every roles, including that of its Founder, is considered and treated as an On-the-Job Training Engagement. As such, movement within is expected.

Programmatic Intern/Fellowships are external workplace training opportunities that are skills and/or career specific placements with our Stakeholders. EEF501cBizInc Stakeholders are either Fiscal Sponsorship Awardees or Participants in other Programs we’ve developed. Regardless of which, Intern/Fellowships are aligned with Stakeholders external to EEF501cBizInc.

Please feel free to share this news with colleagues or to forward to an interested party.

Collectively the Foundation and its incubator parent and all the other siblings in our charitable network are referred to as EEF501cBizInc™ & 501c-BizIncubator™ — both are used interchangeably.

EEF501c has two methods of job placement, Internal and External. Our INTERNAL use of Interns & Fellowship applies to all roles top-down. Because the needs of our Stakeholders are so unique and EVERY ROLES without exception is viewed as continuous onboarding. Developed early in our Founders career, this method introduce and demonstrates the concept of always learning your role, what’s required for it in real time, and by those who need it.

When done EXTERNALY Interns/Fellowship are delivered thru endeavors such as API, a LegUp for 501c Startups, and others across our charitable network. All our endeavors cross-pollinate each other and drive our intent to creates visibility mechanisms and deliberately target gaps that shouldn’t be there due to exclusions, participation blockages, or just plain being ignored. It does so for its niche market of exempt Peers and delivers thru several focus areas:

  • (a) 501c peer-building, and recognition as legally registered business concerns
  • (b) knowledge enrichment for self-sufficiency & business ownership,
  • (c) economic empowerment for the new/young exempt business concern,
  • outpatient health and well-fitness including “farming as therapy” venues

UNPLANNED HIATUS 🙁

API has been on extended hiatus due to COVID and other factors beyond our control including the political unrest we are currently experiencing. So, as we’ve been retooling our entire universe in order hire and training, we also elected to enrich API with new programs planned despite the relaunch originally planned for the Fall 2024 Academic Term. One of those mods included incorporating additional disciplines as part of building a complete body of knowledge for Student Intern Learning.

However, due in large part to ongoing political upheavals, many of our sponsorship and location hosting partners have not been able to move contributory offerings.

With that in mind and the excessive increases in business taxes, operational & licensure fees, as well as residential, vehicle and other related costs that continue to increase yearly and biannually, we have

no choice but to relocate our operations out of Maryland in order to resume and launch overdue programs.

As such as of now during the Fall 2025 calendar year we have started an API Pre-Registration Wait-List and will continue accepting entries it until after we’ve established our new location. Our search efforts have narrowed to the VA/NC boarder region.

If you’d like to be placed on the API Pre-Registration Wait-List, kindly email us at LeavingMD@The501cBizIncubatorCouncil.com and state API Wait-List with our Institutions name in the subject line.

Thank you very much for your patience and we hope to reach out soon to follow up with next steps.

WHY API IS NEEDED

No shade but unlike others offerings, our programs are not exclusive to the best or classified as top tier. There’s no achieving in a vacuum. Name recognition, wealth standards, or connections should not be a factor, nor should there be other levels of exclusion. But we know its here, it exists. And we know this experience it shouldn’t be and that we can do better.

Like other things unbalanced, the doing better is how the BizInc Council came to be and why its been converted its personal volunteerism into game changing efforts that cant fail or fall short.

Whether sharing our own or establishing the new aligning with us mean you gain assets, gap-fling programs, resources, connections, training opportunities & peer building memberships we deliberately in place to propel those continuously treated as too much work, unqualified, or have been barred, excluded from opportunities “everyone “EVERONE” should inherently have EQUAL access to, period.

Now those who utilized them CAN and WILL continue on the path of becoming their best while recognizing they’ve ALWAYS been at their top of their game as they move forward. Its ONLY about evolving to become better and better and better. The only competition is with one-self and that’s to perpetually be better!

COMING SOON!

Thanks for your patience as we work to settled on a new location.

Meantime, complete information for venues that align with API‘s intent, such as our Externships for our Legal Clinic and others, as well as the development and launch of additional program venues with API continue.
