Take acquisitions, as an example. In 2010, The Bridgespan Group reported that healthy nonprofits should proactively consider M&A as a strategic tool to strengthen effectiveness, consolidate limited numbers of revenue sources, spread best practices, expand reach and make the best use of scarce resources. Further, research examining consolidation of revenue sources and cross-sector partnerships suggests that an effective merging of similar efforts can enhance funding sources, revenue and organizational reach, while ensuring that fewer people are left behind.

Fedcap paid attention and, as part of our 2010 Strategic Plan, we launched a growth strategy to include acquisitions. Ten years later, The Fedcap Group is a network of 15 top-tier nonprofits and we’re growing each year. We are fiscally stronger, have a significantly enhanced infrastructure, sophisticated technology and we are capable of operating large, complex contracts.
