Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Prep Institute, LLC.
Training What You Fund
We support public and private funders and nonprofit training organizations in fueling the work behind the grant.
​
Our Growth Incubators are designed to teach grantees and staff how to overcome the very challenges that often become funders’ biggest pain points—like limited capacity, inconsistent execution, and stalled outcomes. We close critical gaps, teach root causes analysis and social problem solving, deliver measurable results, and protect the long-term value of your philanthropic investment.
​
​For example, when a funder noticed that several grantees were struggling to manage cash flow and track spending tied to deliverables, we built a Financial Management Learning Lab for that funder. Within 90 days, grantees had implemented basic systems, developed real cash flow projections, and improved funder reporting—turning a risk area into a readiness strength.
​
Together, we turn grantmaking into growth-making.
