Incubator Program
The Greater Sum’s Virtual Incubator for Nonprofits helps early stage organizations align strategy and financial forecasting. We work with nonprofits that are creating significant impact and striving towards a sustainable operational model that will adapt as they grow. The program graduates are laser-focused on effective use of funds to fuel their mission. They’ve taken a hard look at what it costs to deliver impact, and their fundraising methods and goals are firmly connected to that strategy. If you’re considering an investment in an organization that has completed our incubator, you should know that they’ve got this foundational knowledge AND access to Greater Sum’s ongoing community and support.
