• Speeds up the development of Villages across the metro-area.
• Eliminates the need for each spoke Village to get its own independent 501c3 status, while allowing them to provide tax-deductions to donors.
• Provides economy of scale savings—both in terms of manpower and financial outlay—to all the Villages that are part of the system.
• Enables Villages within the same area to effectively share resources and combine efforts to apply for funding and negotiate key strategic partnerships.
• Standardizes financial record keeping, donor records, grant tracking, and data collection across multiple Villages, which makes them collectively more attractive to potential funders.
• Helps ensure all Villages are knowledgeable about and in compliance with nonprofit legal requirements.
