Accelerator for America is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles that aims to reduce economic insecurity by identifying local solutions and sharing them with cities across the country. Its work centers on connecting people with existing jobs, creating new opportunities, and fostering infrastructure development, organized into two verticals: Transit & Infrastructure and Economic Development. An Advisory Council of mayors and leaders from labor, business, and the nonprofit sector guides its work. It operates within the field of economic development policy and municipal innovation.

Its primary audience comprises city governments and local stakeholders seeking practical approaches to strengthen economies and infrastructure. The organization helps cities plan and manage federal recovery dollars and build capacity to fund lasting community wealth, drawing on initiatives such as the Stimulus Command Center model and the Honeywell Smart City Accelerator Program. A notable recent development is a pilot project with the City of Tucson, involving the Tucson Police Department and Tolemi, a Boston-based real estate data firm.
