From the Greater Sum community
“Through [The Greater Sum Foundation’s] incubator program, pitch competition, and donor match initiatives, they provided not just funding opportunities, but real mentorship and capacity building. The leadership at GSF sets a powerful example of what foundations can be: transparent, innovative, and truly invested in the people doing the work.”
- Bre Russell, Founder, Girls Leading Girls
“I have the chance, as a Greater Sum Subject Matter Expert, to support the work of Defend Them All. I was especially excited to work with them because DTA is taking a novel approach to protect and promote species— working at a systemic level to change laws and, ultimately, behaviors creating direct action in protecting species.”
- Paul Morris, Founder & Partner, Equip Global
“The Greater Sum team does a tremendous job of nurturing and cultivating start-up nonprofits and they recognize that one of the keystones for their success is strong HR knowledge. We are happy to provide education and guidance to these groups to ensure that they remain compliant and can focus on their most important work, their mission."
-Suzi Lemen, CEO, Dynamic Corporate Solutions, Inc.
