Creating Structure to Support Aspirational Design

Creating Structure to Support Aspirational Design

The Fedcap Group is made up of an alliance of individual organizations, with a common mindset of aspirational innovation and vision—working to solve and not just serve problems. We are working to build an overarching organizational culture, strategy and structure that support this vision.  Innovation around creating aspirational outcomes that fundamentally improve outcomes doesn’t just happen. There needs to be a framework to test and refine discrete practices and measure impact, disrupting systems and distribution models.

This structure is manifested throughout every internal and external factor of our work. We ask ourselves essential questions. Whether we are on the front lines of service, or in the supportive roles of corporate services, we follow a critical thinking pathway that includes:

What problems do we want to solve?

What specific outcomes we want to improve?

What do we know about where in the service pathway outcomes might be impacted?

What kinds of precise interventions, intentionally sequenced might change the outcomes? 

How can we engage funders in partnering with us to test these innovations? 

Aligning our culture and our structure around aspirational innovation is a deliberate and intentional process. When we gather the leadership of The Fedcap Group, these are the important conversations that inspire and motivate us all.

How do you ensure that your culture, your strategies and your structure advance your macro, aspirational goals?

As always, I welcome your thoughts.

The format for the Solutions Series includes a moderated discussion by a panel of experts and Q&A from the audience.
Panelists have included nationally recognized individuals such as Congressman Patrick Kennedy; Luis Tejada-Vice President of Goya Foods; Shay Bilchik, Director of the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University; Michael Weinstein, Economist and CEO of Impact Matters; Anna Oliveria, President of the New York Women’s Foundation; Jim Salazar, President of Clark Shoes; Doug Rausch, President of Trader Joes; staff from the US Chamber of Commerce; Commissioners of Child Welfare, DOL and Education; and many more.

2018 Year End Financial and Programmatic Results

The Fedcap Group Reports Fiscal Year 2018 Operating and Financial Results

New York, December 11 – The Fedcap Group, a not-for-profit organization that develops innovative, sustainable solutions and opportunities for people with barriers to achieve economic well-being, today reported operating and financial results for its 2018 fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.

Management Comment

“This was another excellent year for Fedcap. We executed on several key initiatives that significantly expanded the number of individuals we served, increased our revenues at a double-digit rate through a combination of organic and acquisition growth, and continued to invest in innovation and infrastructure to ensure the sustainability of the organization,” said Christine McMahon, Fedcap’s Chief Executive Officer.

“An important highlight of fiscal 2018 was our extended footprint in early intervention, which has proven to be so critical in helping individuals with disabilities gain self-sufficiency in adulthood. During the year, we acquired Easterseals Central and North Texas and were awarded the rights to establish Easterseals locations in Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Together with our existing operations in New York and Rhode Island, Fedcap has established an Easterseals platform that is positioned to serve an expanded population, share best practices and grow organically and through additional acquisitions.

“At the same time, we continued to intervene on behalf of specialized populations who face difficulties in gaining meaningful employment, including veterans, people with disabilities, individuals 55 years of age and over, and those exiting the criminal justice system. Our credentials have been recognized by government agencies and funders in the City of New York, where we are working on several cutting-edge programs including delivering work-readiness services within the walls of Rikers Island prison and providing job training and job placement services to those awaiting trial. Additionally, we continued to develop programs to encourage higher education for those aging out of the foster care system.

“In all cases, we leverage The Fedcap Group’s expanded services and solutions to develop innovative approaches to longstanding issues. This strategy has enabled us to win an increasing number of contracts awards from government agencies in the 22 states in which we currently operate, and grants from private sector participants. With a growing pipeline of business development opportunities, The Fedcap Group is a growth platform for like-minded organizations seeking to strengthen their impact on key issues facing populations in need,” Ms. McMahon noted.

2018 Financial and Operating Metrics

Fiscal year 2018 revenues were $295.8 million, an increase of 14.4% over the $258.5 million in revenues reported for FY17. The improvement reflects both organic and acquisition growth, primarily related to the expansion of our workforce contracts in the District of Columbia, growth of ReServe across the country, expansion of Single Stop into more community colleges, continued growth of our Total Facilities Management initiatives, and acquisitions of MVLE, Inc., and two Easterseals affiliates in Central and North Texas. Notably, Fedcap has succeeded in significantly diversifying our revenue sources over the last several years, bringing a broader array of services to at-risk populations.

Fiscal year 2018 operating expenses were $295.3 million, 88% of which represented direct program expenses. The Fedcap Group reported an operating profit of $501,281 for FY 2018 compared to $289,187 in the prior year.

In December 2017 The Fedcap Group completed long-term financing through a $10 million Build NYC bond to finance renovations of the state-of-the-art program center at 210 East 43 Street and headquarters located at 633 Third Avenue, New York, NY and the Oracle HCM Cloud implementation.

At September 30, 2018, cash and marketable securities were $33.4million, up from $29 million in the prior year due to investment earnings and acquisitions.

Key Contract Wins and Strategic Highlights in 2018

Better Together: Combinations Activity

During FY 2018, Fedcap welcomed three new organizations.

Summary and Outlook

“With the completion of another year of double-digit revenue growth, The Fedcap Group has gained substantial scale as well the additional capabilities that we believe will support our ability to continue to achieve positive results for the populations we serve. As we head into fiscal 2019, we are disappointed that the New York City-funded WeCARE contract was re-designed and awarded to several new providers. We are proud of the results we achieved on this contract over the past six years, and we are equally proud that we have been asked to serve in a subcontractor capacity and technology provider by certain awardees. Our revenue comparisons for fiscal 2019 will reflect the loss of this contract, but we still expect to be able to show steady to slightly increased year-on-year revenue performance thanks to our current contract wins, our business development pipeline and the benefit of our recent acquisitions.

“The Fedcap Group’s ability to leverage complementary qualifications across our organization to win strategically important contracts provides the resources to invest in program development and infrastructure improvements to support the continued growth that we see on the horizon. In 2018 we achieved a 40% win rate for all proposal submissions. Because we are pursuing challenging and very competitive new business, we are very pleased with this result.

“We are also mindful of changes in government priorities that can limit funding for certain programs. This drives us to seek out and bid on an increasing number of contract and funding opportunities to put into practice solutions that have proven to yield positive outcomes for those in need. The Fedcap Group ended fiscal 2018 in a strong financial position, and we continue to operate with rigorous financial and risk management controls and procedures to ensure that The Fedcap Group remains a sustainable organization with sufficient infrastructure and resources to effectively serve clients, win federal-, state- and city-funded contracts and secure foundation grants. We look forward to continuing our progress in 2019 and to keeping an open dialogue with all of our stakeholders,” Ms. McMahon noted.
