How We’ve Evolved the Playbook for Efficient and Scalable Nonprofit Consolidation

From $1 Million to $300 Million Partnerships: How Our Model Grew with the Needs of the Sector

When Inperium began, most of our partnerships were with smaller organizations—often under $10 million in annual revenue—and typically operating within a single state. The goal was simple: help great nonprofits grow without asking them to give up their identity, leadership, or mission focus.

That philosophy hasn’t changed. But the landscape has.

Today, we’re partnering with organizations in the tens—or even hundreds—of millions in revenue, including multi-state providers like Abraxas ($110M revenue in 2024) and Resources for Human Development ($330M revenue). These affiliations demand a more sophisticated, scalable approach—one that still protects local autonomy but delivers the efficiency and stability large networks require.

What’s Changed (and What Hasn’t) Since Our Early Partnerships

What’s stayed the same:

• Affiliates keep their identity, name, and local board
• Decision-making authority over programs and community work remains with local leadership
• Shared services  are designed to support—not override—missions

What’s evolved:

• Clearer, data-driven partnership structures including defined valuation, due diligence, and financial modeling
• A scalable governance framework that balances autonomy with operational alignment
• A centralized shared-services platform (via Apis Services) delivering financial services, corporate insurance, legal & risk management, HR administration, IT services, and more
• Capacity to operate in any state, supporting both regional and national growth strategies

Scale Without Sacrificing the Personal Touch

Efficiency shouldn’t erase identity. That’s why our affiliate-first model is designed to take on the infrastructure burden so organizations can focus on the work that matters most.

As an Inperium affiliate, you gain:

• Administrative cost savings via volume-based pricing
• Access to deep expertise in finance, legal, compliance, and operations
• Improved capital access and funding opportunities
• More time for staff to focus on program delivery, not paperwork

Whether you’re a $2M community-based nonprofit or a $300M multi-state provider, the model flexes to your scale and needs.

How the Partnership Process Works

1. Discovery + Due Diligence

We learn your mission, community, and financial model while you explore our affiliation structures. Together, we assess alignment.

2. Custom Partnership Planning

We co-create your pathway—defining roles, responsibilities, and shared services agreements, including cost allocation and financial reporting.

3. Integration & Onboarding

You sign a management services agreement with Apis Services, gaining expert support in HR, IT, finance, legal, and more.

4. Ongoing Governance + Support

Our hub-and-spoke governance model ensures you keep mission control, backed by transparent oversight and strategic collaboration across the network.

Who Benefits—and Why It Matters

This is not consolidation for consolidation’s sake. It’s about enabling organizations—whether local or multi-state—to strengthen infrastructure, scale responsibly, and extend their impact.

The model delivers:

• Stronger infrastructure without mission creep
• Scalable growth through shared efficiencies
• Risk mitigation via deeper financial oversight and shared responsibility
• Greater community impact from reinvested time and resources

You don’t lose your organization. You gain a partner—and a platform designed for resilience at any size.
