Get Funding and Support
At New Profit, we hold at the center of our mission the goal of advancing equity and opportunity in America. This goal informs both our investment selection process and the investment model through which we support our grantee-partners. If you are interested in learning more about our funding and support models, please explore our Fund & Build page.
We approach our investment selection process with deep curiosity and a focus on building relationships and mutual understanding to identify the most promising social entrepreneurs with the potential for impact. Our investment selection process below outlines steps to take if you are interested in pursuing a funding and learning partnership with New Profit.
Organizations that are interested in learning more about funding opportunities and support from New Profit are encouraged to review our investment selection eligibility guidelines. If your organization meets our eligibility guidelines, we invite you to fill out our “Discovery Form” or contact the Investment Selection team with questions regarding the New Profit investment selection process using the link below. Organizations that meet our investment selection eligibility guidelines and complete our Discovery Form are invited to join our pipeline (see below).
New Profit invites organizations that meet our eligibility and investment selection guidelines to join our pipeline. We pride ourselves on being collaborators and building partnerships with others in the field, so relationship-building with organizations is an important part of what we do. To that end, our pipeline is a community of social entrepreneurs who participate in convenings and conversations through which they become a part of the New Profit ecosystem, and are considered for investment opportunities as relevant cycles come up.
Depending on our strategic priorities and funding availability, select pipeline organizations will either be invited to submit an application for a given investment selection cycle or an open submission cycle will be held. Open cycles will be publicly announced on our website and shared with pipeline organizations.
Organizations selected for Screening and Diligence are reviewed against our investment selection guidelines using materials from the application, interview(s) with the organization’s leadership, and rigorous analysis of each organization’s vision, impact, growth strategy, and operational and financial capabilities and plans. We enter into Screening and Diligence with an emphasis on relationship-building and mutual understanding.
