Mission Addd+Ventures
According to the April 2011 Barna Group research, today nonprofits are experiencing a bigger loss in charitable giving since the economic downturn.

In the current economy, how does a faith- or community-based nonprofit serving high need low-income communities remain sustainable?

Faith & Philanthropy Institute is excited to introduce a newly revised program (formerly Community Economic Leadership Summit) just for organizations serving in high need, low-income communities.

Mission Add+Ventures (MAV) is a NEW 9-month intensive program that gives faith-and community-based organizations the tools to develop fee-based programs and/or for-profit ventures consistent with their organizations' mission.

In the program, leaders will:
  • Learn new business tools and approaches to accomplish the mission
  • Create social, spiritual and economic value
  • Calculate the risk of for profit strategies
  • Generate income from commercial activities to fund programs and/or cover operating costs
  • Become mission-led and market driven
  • Enjoy financial freedom from unrestricted income
  • Embed ventures strategically into current operations
The MAV Incubator will accept 12 leaders from organizations serving high need, low-income communities. The program consists of nine laboratories that will provide practical, hands-on experience.

By the end of this course, leaders will:
  • Understand the connection between money and business model,
  • Articulate their unique selling position,
  • Create a feasibility study for their venture idea and
  • Develop a comprehensive business plan to connect to new funding opportunities.
Most importantly, they will be thoroughly equipped for exponential growth.

The training will begin the first quarter of 2012. Call the FPI Office at 817-835-0271 to learn more and to apply.
