Growth Capital Services help nonprofits attract the equity-like capital they need to increase their social impact in a rigorously sustainable way. NFF Capital Partners is not in the business of raising money. Rather, we are in the business of helping our nonprofit clients to raise money, and our funder clients to deploy money in powerful ways.

SEGUE READINESS ASSESSMENTS

We engage with the senior management team of a nonprofit to evaluate the prospective fit of the organization with the SEGUE equity capital campaign methodology.

The output is a written assessment of the appropriateness of the SEGUE methodology as it pertains to the organization's growth plan.
