Levine Impact Lab Operational Support Program

The Levine Impact Lab’s Operational Support Program is an 18-month, high-engagement operational partnership designed to help environmental organizations move strategic and financial priorities forward.

At the core of the program is hands-on operational support: our team works side-by-side with your leaders to drive progress on a critical project, whether it’s strengthening your financial infrastructure, increasing earned revenue, or planning for growth.

This is a working partnership. The grant funding and peer-learning community are designed to support and accelerate your momentum.

  • Show up with clear goals and a commitment to moving the work forward

More information about participation commitments here.

What is Operational Support?

To get the most out of this program, organizations must come prepared with a specific project, workstream, or organizational challenge they want to tackle over the 18 months with operational support. 

Potential Area(s) of Support: 

  • Financial strategy and planning
  • Fundraising, development and donor engagement strategy
  • Cost structure analysis
  • Program development or expansion
  • Corporate partnership strategy 
  • New location or geographic expansion
  • RFP support/capital planning

  • Have clear decision-making authority and/or strong backing from the Executive Director or CEO
  • Be directly involved in the project or challenge the organization is addressing
  • Be able to commit time, energy, and focus to move the work forward

There will also be opportunities to include additional staff members in operational projects, as needed, to ensure the right voices and expertise are present. 

Who this might include: Executive Director and Finance Director, Business Development Manager and Operations Lead, or Marketing Manager and Development Director, depending on the nature of your project.

What We Offer

  • Tailored 1:1 operational support and strategic advising
  • A national cohort of up to 10 organizations
