Client Challenge
Wanted to design a giving initiative that was both discreet and measurably impactful, without attracting attention or managing logistics alone.
Our Approach
- Developed a mentorship and micro-grant program for young, aspiring business owners.
- Paired ten selected participants with volunteer mentors from the client’s professional network and structured short business workshops and pitch sessions with local experts.
- Provided seamless grant management, reporting on outcomes and measuring the results for the client.
Result
- Ten small businesses were started or expanded within the first project year.
- Recipients credited the program with giving them the “first real chance” at business ownership, and several have since hired additional staff.
- The client received detailed impact summaries and heartfelt thanks, all while staying completely out of the public spotlight.
