Working with Multiplier has been great - it's my first time being an executive director, and it's been nice having a steady hand on the wheel to help with back office issues and allow me to focus on building the program.

I know from running and starting four other nonprofits that the work you do is not easy -- it takes a lot of attention to detail and ‘being on it’. Having the operations and finances backend of a project like ours go off can easily throw off the whole project. Project Wayfinder is in incredibly good shape and a large part of that is because of the work that you all are doing.

Multiplier's expertise with governmental awards helped us score a major $900K two-year federal grant. They also served as a critical part of our project team—joining our weekly check-in calls, managing subcontracts, and keeping us on target for deliverables, within budget, and on time with all required reporting. Their stewardship and hands-on assistance is exemplary.

I was working for another organization and decided to become independent and start UAC. I had funding lined up and in order to keep the work going without delays, and to make the funders feel confident in continuing to fund us, I needed an umbrella organization. A brand new organization might have been seen as somewhat risky to funders. A colleague recommended Multiplier - they had a great track record and similar projects working under them.

After interviewing several organizations, we chose Multiplier to support us with getting our early philanthropic funding in the door and rapidly deployed to support our team—and were thrilled that we did. The whole team was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. They took the time to educate us on the intricacies of the nonprofit world, helped us fill out the dreaded IRS form 1023 to get our own 501c3 status, and they even helped us find a fantastic nonprofit insurance broker. We're immensely grateful for the Multiplier team and cannot recommend them highly enough.
