Purpose-driven 501(c)(3) incubation
Start with purpose, not with money.
We help qualified leaders design community service organizations around a real need, with the governance, people, and systems that funders expect.
First question
Is a separate nonprofit the right structure?
Not every good idea needs its own corporation. We compare the options with you before anything is filed.
- Church-operated program, run inside the church’s existing structure
- Partner organization, working with an established nonprofit
- Fiscal sponsorship, operating under a sponsor’s umbrella
- Independent 501(c)(3), a separate organization with its own board
