About us
We believe social change happens at the edge of progress, by those willing to do more and settle less. Mission-driven organizations dedicate every resource to making change happen. Whether for-profit or non profit, they need to be sustainable and scalable in order to create substantial change. In order to support that change, we’ve learned there are four ways of increasing impact capacity: Great Model - SAIL, Compass, Fiscal Sponsorship Good Numbers - Accounting, CFO Services Great People - HR Support, Org Development, Executive Search, CSR programs Access to Capital - Seed The Future Impact Fund, Funder Connections, Grant Writing Support Through these four ways, we help mission-driven organizations leading social change build capacity for impact, creating substantial, sustainable, scalable change. It’s what we do every day.

Amazing impact CSR Team Charlotte Vitak, Michelle Fujisaki-Thomas, Becca Branch, Roxy
Team Appreciation Post + Mission Edge June CSR progress update! This month has been FULL to say the least. 2 MAJOR project kickoffs and one MAJOR project close out. All within 30 days, two of which were this week. For context, four years ago this is the amount of work I would have accomplished in one calendar year - we're working on hyperspeed here, folks! Oh, and one HUGE difference: I've got a team around me. Michelle Fujisaki-Thomas, Becca Branch, and our intern Roxana Wolff truly make magic happen every day. These projects have been months in the making: First, University of San Diego's 75th Anniversary Volunteer Project Kick Off! This was no small undertaking, 1 U-Haul, 400 Fanny Packs, and nearly 1000 bottles of shampoo later, we hosted the first collection event of what will be a year-long service project benefiting Monarch School. Second, San Diego Gas & Electric A Sempra Energy Company's Intern Volunteering Project. 5 teams, 30+interns, 40-hour projects....also a logistical feat! This projects kicked off with an energy packed orientation on campus at SDGE this week. Lastly, Qualcomm's Social Impact Giving Initiative Showcase. 10 organizations, $50,000 grants, half a million dollars in funding to support orgs doing social impact work. The impact this makes on the orgs who receive funding makes me remember why I do this work (GETTING RESOURCES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM MOST!!). Oh, also, we're working on a video project! Why not throw that in?! There will be more to come on all these projects. But for today, I am feeling grateful for my team - none of these would have gone as smoothly this month if is wasn't for the hard work you have been putting in over the past 6 months. You make it look easy! Lastly, thank you to our amazing clients who work hand in hand with us to make these projects a reality. Thank you for trusting us with this work and supporting us in getting it off the deck and into reality! Megan Vallone Marvin Ordonez Coreen Petti Russell Yost, APR Andrea Bell, MNA We appreciate you!

At every year-end, many nonprofits are crossing their fingers, relying on the hope that they will raise enough funding through the Season of Giving. While these “Season of Giving” donors have good intentions, we think there’s a better way to contribute to nonprofits that allows them to plan and execute their mission.

When Joe Frangiosa Jr. – a military veteran and artist – retired, he started a passion project that was funded by his pension: telling and showing stories of U.S. nautical wartime history. Fast-forward several years, and a donor who believed in Joe’s work pledged a significant amount of money so he could expand his charitable cause. There was just one problem: Joe didn’t have the nonprofit status or infrastructure he needed to accept the donation. Read about how becoming fiscally sponsored under Mission Edge allowed Joe to: - Become a paid founder - Move his artwork to an 800-square-foot museum at Liberty Station in Point Loma. - Accept donations from each visitor https://lnkd.in/gzr4NTZY #fiscalsponsorship #smallbizfinance #sandiego #sandiegobusiness #blog

Here at the Impact Lab, we’re all about offering tangible tools that small business owners will *actually use.* Dr. Darcy White, owner of Source Connection Chiro & Light, walked away from our program with a comprehensive, personalized Excel spreadsheet that gives her crystal-clear insight into the financial health of her business. 🎯 Sometimes, Impact Lab entrepreneurs are dealing with “big” challenges (such as questioning the vitality of their business). Other times, they simply need an organized spreadsheet and a coach who tells them it’s going to be all right. We’re here for both, and everyone in between. Check out Dr. Darcy’s story here: ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g-PHY4Vk #impactlab #blog #smallbizfinance #businesscoach #financecoach #sandiego

When Natasha Nichols, owner of a local cat sitting business, approached the Impact Lab, she knew she needed to press “paws” to dive into some much-needed strategic work. 🐾 We helped her tackle: - Profit and loss statements; - A profitability assessment; - Planning for revenue forecasting; - Team management strategies and techniques; - Creating a job description for her own role. Read more about how all these things paw-sitively transformed Natasha’s business here: ⬇️ 🐈 https://lnkd.in/gJe4eRaK #impactlab #blog #smallbizfinance #businesscoach #financecoach #sandiego

If you’re outgrowing your current fiscal sponsor, or you’re a nonprofit considering a restructuring, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to research. So we put together an article in an attempt to answer some common questions and help you understand when restructuring to a fiscal sponsor might be a good option for you to consider. 😄 https://lnkd.in/dAccSEku #fiscalsponsorship #smallbizfinance #sandiego #sandiegobusiness #blog

We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to join forces and host a community reception this week with one of our fiscally sponsored projects, Butcher, Baker Candlestick Maker: a photography exhibit created by Rebecca Smith and TJ Carter to celebrate the spirit of artisan businesses in the city of San Diego. Being that this exhibit highlights small business owners, it was a perfect fit to have some of our Mission Edge Impact Lab participants and alumni join us for an evening at UC San Diego Park & Market. The community reception featured local bites from small businesses and candles from one of the 5 amazing artisans highlighted in the exhibit, Moo LaLa Skincare. Thank you to everyone who attended!
