 Rationale
Local nonprofit organizations have to spend a significant
amount of time, money and energy identifying,
soliciting, securing,managing and accounting for the
resources they need to serve their communities.

Out-sourcing these specialized tasks not only

saves local organizations time and money,
but allows them to focus the majority of their
energies on doing what they do best:
providing help to those who are in need.
