Our Impact
What a grant is meant to set in motion.
FFSBD is a young foundation, so we describe our impact in terms of the mechanism we're building toward, rather than numbers we haven't yet earned the right to publish. As grants are disbursed, this page will report real, verified outcomes.
The chain we're funding
One grant, five places the value lands.
The founder
Working capital or equipment removes the single biggest obstacle between a plan and a running business.
The employees
A business that can operate at full capacity can hire — and keep — the people it needs.
The suppliers
Local sourcing means grant money changes hands again inside the same local economy.
The customers
A formalized, better-run business is a more reliable one for the people who depend on it.
The tax base
Formalization brings informal activity into the systems that fund public services.
Accountability
We report on grants, not just applications.
Every approved grant carries a simple reporting agreement so we can track whether the funds did what the application said they would. As our grantmaking history grows, we intend to publish a public accounting of outcomes here.
