The Partnership

Accessity takes pride in its partnership with the Eva Longoria Foundation, which remains central to expanding business education for entrepreneurs seeking support in Spanish across Southern California. This funding supports Spanish-language training, access to responsible capital, and communications outreach to raise awareness of Accessity’s loan and educational programs.

Through this collaboration, Accessity launched Academia de Accessity para el Éxito Empresarial, a Spanish-language training initiative designed to equip business owners with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to start, grow, and formalize their businesses.

The partnership also supports webinars and educational events in Spanish, reaching nearly 500 business owners per year with information on key topics such as marketing, banking, credit, and accessing financing.

In 2013, Accessity launched the Eva Longoria Micro Loan Fund to expand access to responsible capital for business owners seeking support in Spanish.

Accessity remains dedicated to expanding financial opportunity through its collaboration with the Eva Longoria Foundation, helping entrepreneurs access the capital, education, and trusted support they need to achieve their business goals and strengthen their communities.

“The Accessity Academia gave me the tools I needed to start my new business Mujer Brave. Through the program, I was able to get funding for my business to purchase inventory and begin selling my bags. I am so grateful to the Eva Longoria Foundation and Accessity for the access to this great program.”
– Mirna Guardiola, owner of MujerBrave
“The team at Accessity believed in me as an entrepreneur, and I am very thankful,” Academia de Accessity graduate Fatima Perez said. “The support they provided has been crucial to helping me to grow my pet store business and thrive as an entrepreneur.”
