WHAT IS ENTERPRISE CAPITAL?
Modern philanthropy has drifted into unnecessarily H.A.R.D. patterns. AECGF does philanthropy W.E.L.L. Enterprise Capital (EC) is a better way to build financial strength and scale impact for nonprofits. EC makes it possible to achieve more through access to the same long-term flexible capital available to most successful businesses.
Our successful Enterprise Capital approach has already delivered resources that have helped:
Delta Circles maintain financial stability as it worked to scale efforts to address generational poverty in the Arkansas Delta.
Sustain Venceremos whose mission is to ensure the human rights of poultry workers.
Grow the Delta Community Development and Law Center’s ability to advocate for and produce affordable housing.
