The Nonprofit Incubator

We believe that when you equip ordinary people (like us) to use their God-given passions, extraordinary impact can happen.

What we believe

We started the nonprofit incubator to provide a complete foundation to help launch organizations doing biblical justice and advancing God’s kingdom.

We’re starting organizations that change the fabric of our city for God’s kingdom.

How it works

    1. You start with a God given passion.
    2. We provide the framework and support to turn that passion into an organization.
    3. Together we create a sustainable model that allows for long-term impact.

Who is this for?

You don’t need to have a business plan or a finance background – we’ll walk with you from idea to full nonprofit.

There is no cookie-cutter method for impact. We’ve created the incubator to uniquely support anyone who has a skillset or passion they want to use to advance God’s kingdom.

Want to Make a Difference?

Founders

You bring the passion. We’ll help you build the plan.

You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a heart for impact! Our incubator provides mentorship, business support, and a thriving ecosystem to help you launch a sustainable nonprofit. Are you ready to commit 15 hours per month, plus a coffee meeting every two weeks with your mentor, to turn your vision into reality?

Other Ways to Get Involved

Have a Heart to Serve? There’s a Place for You!

We’re building something incredible—and we need passionate, dedicated people to help make it happen. Think of it as building the plane while flying it! Whether you have skills, talents, or just a desire to serve, there are many ways to be part of this movement. If you’re looking for a way to make a difference, we’d love to find the right fit for you.

Mentors

Share your experience. Shape the future.

We’re looking for experienced professionals in business, finance, or entrepreneurship to mentor nonprofit founders as they launch their vision. We provide all the training—you provide wisdom and encouragement. Can you commit to one coffee meeting every two weeks to help guide a passionate leader toward success?

A coffee shop employing youth who are aging out of the foster care system to provide holistic support and mentorship through a network of partnerships and volunteers.

Carroll's Kitchen

More than just a meal, Carroll’s Kitchen is a nonprofit social enterprise restaurant creating healthy employment for women overcoming crisis.

Layers of Dignity

Layers of Dignity provides survivors with a tote bag full of toiletries and clothing for leaving the hospital.  Each tote includes a hand-written letter from a fellow survivor and a next-step guide for restoring hope and dignity after an assault. Instead of leaving in paper clothing, sexual assault survivors can take the first steps to healing in brand-new clothes, armed with resources and a community that will walk with them.

The Village Durham

Advocating for families seeking to remain together in safe and healthy homes.
