About the Organization
Inspiring Capital helps social enterprises develop revenue streams to become self-funded and sustainable. We address inefficiencies in the not-for-profit sector. With backgrounds in finance, entrepreneurship, and private sector investing and management, as well as professional experience in the not-for-profit sector, we find more efficient and effective ways to leverage capital to achieve sustainable social change. In parallel, we educate donors about why earned income is valuable and how they can help not-for-profits pursue sustainability. Our consulting services (for donors and not-for-profits) optimize donors’ charitable giving so they have a more positive impact on their communities and help not-for-profits become truly sustainable.
