CASE STUDY

A new way to support long-term viability

Corporations and foundations have traditionally invested money in new ideas, but money isn’t always enough to ensure viability. Many academics, social innovators, and early-stage nonprofits lack experience with business planning and modeling, even though it’s critical for any program’s long-term success. In the private sector, accelerators have helped VC-funded startups launch successful companies; what’s the equivalent for new ventures receiving grants from the nonprofit sector?

Read our latest case study to find out how we provided customized, targeted support to help a foundation’s grantees identify opportunities, address barriers, and achieve long-term sustainability.
