WHO WE ARE
We are providers of program and fiscal management services to grant makers and non-profits
We co-create solutions with our clients. We provide be-spoke fiscal and program management
solutions, and more, to grant makers and non-profit organizations all under one roof. We support young and nascent organizations as well as movements and coalitions.
Grant makers want to support young and nascent organizations and movements and coalitions that do not yet have adequate capacity in fiscal management. We will manage the fiscal side of the grant and support developing the grantees capacity working with a clear timeline. Grant makers from the global North with no local presence prefer to support grantees in the global South through South based partners to provide them with fiscal and program assurances.
Non-profits want to reduce costs by sharing non-core services. We have platforms that enable
shared services such as payroll management, book-keeping, accounting, recruiting on behalf, etc.

Our team of directors brings together deep and strategic programming, grant making, and financial management experiences with national and global grant makers and civil society organizations
