SOAR Application

We appreciate your interest in applying to the SOAR program (“Program”) for your Arlington-based business or nonprofit organization. These are challenging times, and we have designed a program to help you address challenges in the following areas: strategic planning, legal structure, marketing and branding, financial management, and workforce development. We invite you to apply for the SOAR program if you seek complimentary consulting.

We are conducting a rolling application process. A maximum of three eligible businesses will be selected each month for the program. If you are not selected in the month you apply, you will be automatically eligible the following month, with no need to reapply.

Once your business is selected for the program, our consulting partner will contact you to schedule a kick-off meeting. Before you apply, please ensure you can dedicate up to 10 hours for consulting work.

As a recipient of these services, please ensure you meet eligibility requirements (E.g., business located in Arlington with the intent of remaining in Arlington) and refrain from utilizing the services with the intent of not following through. We recommend that you use a browser other than Internet Explorer.

Please indicate which social media platforms your business is present on and provide handles, if applicable:
