The Application

Five questions. About five minutes.

There are no right or wrong answers — we're looking to understand your situation and make sure the FHA is genuinely useful for where you are right now.

Question 1 of 6 — Your Organization
Question 1 of 5
Tell us about your organization.
Basic context helps us understand your situation and benchmark you appropriately against similar organizations in our dataset.
Question 2 of 5
What's the financial challenge your organization is most aware of right now?
Pick the one that feels most true. You can expand in the next question.
Question 3 of 5
Have you tried to address this before? What happened?
No judgment here — this helps us understand what's been attempted and what might actually be useful. Even "we haven't tried anything" is a useful answer.
Question 4 of 5
If you had complete clarity on your organization's financial health, what would change?
Think about decisions you'd make differently, conversations you'd have with your board, or programs you'd grow or protect. What becomes possible?
Question 5 of 6
When it comes to your budget for outside financial advisory support, which range feels realistic for your organization?
There's no wrong answer — this helps us understand fit and structure the engagement appropriately. The FHA is a professional service, not a subscription.
Question 6 of 6
What's making this feel urgent right now?
This is the most important question. Something has you here — a grant ending, a board conversation, a number that kept you up at night. What is it?
