Back a bridge to better
ReConnect Rondo has adopted an innovative multifaceted funding approach to ensure community benefits through a 4P funding and project development model. This is a self-sustaining business and financing structure where assets are placed, leveraged and managed under a collective impact equity agreement. Other sources of funding include crowdsourcing and sponsorships.
4P Funding Model Benefits
- Ease of administration with complex relationships, interests and transactions.
- Transparency, cooperation and accountability.
- Collective impact; invites participation, learning and utilization of existing resources within the ecosystem.
- Common framework for measuring success, results and ROI.
- Real-time strategies for increasing employment and business opportunities.
- Market space for public, private, nonprofit and community partnerships to recognize expectations/goals of all parties, while staying focused on community benefit.
