Coaching Investment Capacity

The total cost of the Operation Elevation coaching partnership is approximately $50,000 per year. Our goal is to have this fully covered by donor funding. However, if your organization is selected, we would like to understand whether you have the capacity to contribute a portion of this cost.

If so, what amount would be comfortable on a monthly basis over the three-year partnership period? (An answer of $0 is perfectly acceptable, and any response here is not a commitment.)

Monthly contribution capacity

$0 -- We would rely entirely on donor funding $1 - $500 / month $501 - $1,000 / month $1,001 - $2,500 / month $2,500+ / month
