Process 03

Finances and Fundraising.
Buying power, and money that keeps the lights on.

Non-profit affiliate discounts on key resources, plus funding for well-run operations that need capital to run at 100%.

There are two money problems. The first is that organizations pay too much for the things they must buy. We open affiliate pricing on key resources, including food, raw materials, and human capital, so that every dollar already in the building goes further. The second is that good operations run short. Non-profits apply, we qualify them, and we support and complement organizations that are well run and simply need capital to keep the lights on and operate at full strength.

The outcome

Every dollar stretches further, and the lights stay on.

What this includes

In practice.

01

Affiliate discounts

Negotiated pricing on food, raw materials, and human capital. Buying power normally reserved for organizations far larger.

02

Funding for operations

Not only project money. The unglamorous funding that keeps a working organization at 100%: staff, systems, rent, and continuity.

03

We qualify

Applications are reviewed against operating discipline and impact. We back organizations that are already run well and complement what is working.

04

We complement, we do not replace

We support existing operations. We are not here to take over an organization that already knows what it is doing.

Is this the piece you are missing?

Four questions and we will confirm it, or point you somewhere better.
