Organization description:
Visions Made Viable is a nonprofit organization motivated by our Christian faith that is dedicated to serving social visionaries and social entrepreneurs as they tackle the great challenges that face our local communities and our world. Social entrepreneurs, missionaries, community activists and other creative and committed people hold the key to a better and more just world. Visions Made Viable serves those change agents by offering a sophisticated legal, fiscal and administrative home. We also provide coaching and training that help new efforts grow and succeed. VMV acts as an incubator for some projects by building their capacity so they can spin off into independent nonprofits. For others, we provide a long term nonprofit home and ongoing help to build their capacity.
