Organization description:
Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago expands organizational capacity by providing administrative and fiscal services to nonprofits and large public and private bureaucracies. This function eliminates operational barriers that too often prevent effective program management and innovation. Our Fiscal Management Program provides small and emerging nonprofits with the resources and guidance they need to develop skills, and build capacity for financial stability. We directly sponsor programs of organizations without 501(C)(3)s and work with new 501(C)(3)s to help them become sustainable. We use our infrastructure to help small organizations qualify for government funding and to grow, perform back office functions for large organizations to facilitate faster payment of consultants, hire subcontractors on behalf of government entities and manage the programs.
