Capitalize Good aims to disrupt philanthropy by creating an Enterprise Capital market for nonprofits. The team provides consulting services to philanthropic funders to develop Enterprise Capital strategies as well as financial technical assistance to social enterprises. In addition to service delivery, Capitalize Good engages in advocacy and thought leadership to elevate knowledge and understanding of nonprofit funding dynamics and reimagine the relationship between funders and grantees as one of partnership, trust, and mutual accountability. Enterprise Capital is the nonprofit equity corollary - long-term, unrestricted funding intended to build the financial position of a social enterprise, thereby creating organizational strength and financial sustainability. Distinct from revenue (including earned and general operating support), which is essential to cover annual operating costs, Enterprise Capital functions like equity for a for-profit enterprise by increasing net assets, which can be invested, held in reserve to mitigate risk, or leveraged for additional financing. The practice of Enterprise Capital grantmaking draws on the principles of trust-based philanthropy by emphasizing equity, collaboration, power redistribution, relationships, and trust. Enterprise Capital requires funders to draw on the disposition of for-profit equity investors by emphasizing an understanding of finance, a sense of ownership and responsibility to protect grantees, and the initiative to play an active role in financing the entire organization either individually or through funder syndicates. For nonprofits, Enterprise Capital requires finance skills and quality financial management tools and systems.
