Four steps, one purpose.
1. Align the resource
A benefactor may offer cash, an asset, an asset’s charitable use, expertise, a partnership, or access to a needed resource. The starting point is what the benefactor wants to make possible.
2. Review the opportunity
M.A.D. considers the charitable purpose, the immediacy of the need, the mission fit, and the practical path for responsible stewardship. A recommendation is important; M.A.D. retains charitable discretion.
3. Deploy targeted help
When an opportunity is approved, help is designed around a defined gap. That can include essential living expenses, housing-related needs, medical bills, transportation, or another mission-aligned intervention.
4. Stay connected to impact
Benefactors should be able to understand the model, ask questions, and receive appropriate reporting while M.A.D. protects the dignity and privacy of people receiving support.
