The challenge

A community development financial institution needed to expand its small business lending program into three new markets but lacked the capital reserves and federal recognition required to qualify for CDFI Fund awards.

A workforce development organization serving formerly incarcerated individuals was operating on a single government contract with no diversified funding base and no federal grant history.

The challenge

A small business accelerator focused on minority entrepreneurs needed to formalize its organizational structure, achieve 501(c)(3) status, and build a capital strategy to sustain operations beyond its founding grant.

Our approach

The Philip Morgan Group managed the full 501(c)(3) formation process, developed a three-year capital strategy combining foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and earned revenue, and wrote the organization's first two foundation grant applications.
