About
The Social Change Nest
Our fiscal hosting services remove financial barriers so that you can focus on making change. We give you the tools and support to scale and create impact, without imposing any structures that could hinder your amazing work.
As the sister of The Social Change Agency, we have 10 years experience in the nonprofit sector. We have a deep understanding of civil society - the barriers to getting started, and the fiscal and administrative needs of groups and individual changemakers.
Check out our website to learn all about The Social Change Nest. Open Collective also has a comprehensive Gitbook here.
