CapeTide Economic Development Corporation
Founded in Fall 2025, CapeTide is a new 501(c)3, whose mission is to strengthen Cape Cod’s economy by supporting small businesses and expanding access to entrepreneurial education, resources, and a community of champions. Founded through the leadership of its Executive Director and a dedicated board, with contributions from multiple volunteer teams specializing in curriculum, candidate selection, technology, impact, and fundraising, and with support from staff of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. CapeTide is preparing to launch its website and first program in early 2026.
CapeTide is currently operating under a fiscal sponsorship with the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. Until CapeTide receives its standalone IRS determination letter, all charitable contributions—including credit card donations, ACH/online gifts, checks, and grants from Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)—should be made to the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation and designated for CapeTide. Please contact CapeTide at hellocapetide@capecodchamber.org with questions or for DAF and QCD donation instructions.
