The team at Visión y Compromiso (Vision and Commitment) had a strong plan for their future — but no easy way to bring it to life. Traditional financing models were not accessible to them, and they needed help to fully pursue the earned-income opportunities that would transform the financial and programmatic future of the organization.
Established in 2000, Visión y Compromiso (VyC) is the leading organization in California providing training, leadership and ongoing advocacy and support to community health workers.
A strategic decision in 2018 was made to expand the client base to include private organizations, such as hospitals, to diversify its funding source from 100% public funding. While they have had exciting initial success in signing new contracts, the cost of growth outpaced receivables.
