Most nonprofits are funding themselves on the wrong cycle.

The grant cycle is brutal. Application windows, reporting requirements, restricted use, the gap between award and payment, the constant pressure to re-apply for funding the work already earned. Add donor fatigue, event burnout, and a development team stretched too thin, and most EDs spend more time raising money than running the mission. There's a structurally different way to fund recurring nonprofit operations. It doesn't replace grants or major gifts — it works alongside them, as a baseline of monthly revenue that arrives whether or not the grant team had a good quarter. It also costs nothing. Not to the nonprofit. Not to the participating business. The model is structural, not transactional.

Who This Is Built For

Nonprofits, especially those that are: → Tired of the grant cycle's unpredictability and reporting overhead. → Looking for recurring revenue that isn't tied to a single donor. → Small enough that a development department of one is doing the work of three. → Open to a funding model that builds sustainable baseline support. Businesses, especially those that: → Want to support a nonprofit in their community without writing checks. → Are looking for community-giving alignment that also creates marketing visibility. → Process credit card transactions as a normal part of operations.

How the model works

A business that participates in this program processes its credit card transactions through a specific merchant processor. A structured portion of the processing economics is directed to a 501(c)(3) the business has nominated — monthly, recurring, automatic. The business pays the same merchant processing rates they would anywhere else. The nonprofit receives consistent monthly funding with no enrollment cost and no obligation. The participating business gets visible recognition as a community supporter — marketing benefit at zero cash outlay. The whole thing is structural. Once it's set up, it runs.

What's different about this

recurring nonprofit funding with Michelle Salinas

Recurring, not one-time. Most giving models depend on the next ask. This one doesn't. Free on both sides. No setup fees, no enrollment costs, no minimum commitment. Aligned, not extractive. The business gets community alignment and marketing. The nonprofit gets sustainable revenue. Nobody is footing the bill out of a margin they couldn't afford to give. Works alongside everything else. This isn't replacement funding. It's baseline recurring revenue that compounds while you keep doing the rest of the development work.
