Third Sector Capital Partners, Inc.

Third Sector Capital Partners (TSCP) was founded to support the development of the pay-for-success financing market for social benefit programs. TSCP serves nonprofits and government agencies working to implement a social impact bond or similar financing mechanism. In 2012, TSCP was the first intermediary in the country to successfully implement a pay for success contract; it was in Massachusetts with nonprofit partner ROCA, Inc. focused on reducing the rates of juvenile recidivism. Since then, TSCP has 8 other projects in development, of which 5 are under negotiation. TSCP has gained recognition as a strong thought leader and implementer in the pay-for-success field. An OE grant would enable the organization to develop a communications strategy, redesign its website, and update its brand identity so that it can present a more unified message to its target audience. The improvements in communications are meant to have a positive impact on TSCP's business development and partnership efforts.
