They believe in multi-year, ongoing support both financial and professional, helping to build the capacity of the organization. The organizations utilizes its partners as well as paid consultants to effectively reconstruct the organization’s financial systems, create stronger, more sound board governance, and give each organization the tools they need amplify their results.
