Overview

Mission

We help amazing people help others. A lot of nonprofits have remarkable ideas, but don't know where to begin or how to run a business (especially on the administration level). That's where we thrive – record keeping, accounting, government filings, insurance, and much more. With these foundational supports we help maximize the potential of the social entrepreneurs who work with them; they maintain autonomy and simultaneously have explicit support of our whole Matters on Tomorrow team.

What it reported doing in 2025

Subsidiary - for organizations that need an umbrella to work under, we provide direct fiscal sponsorship allowing them to operate under our 501c3, with access to our legal, financial, and operations leads.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 60% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
