Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION SEACHANGE CAPITAL PARTNERS' MISSION IS TO ENABLE TRANSACTIONS THAT INCREASE THE IMPACT OF NONPROFITS WHILE OFFERING LEVERAGED FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DONORS. FOR SEACHANGE, TRANSACTIONS INCLUDE MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, RESTRUCTURINGS, SPIN-OFFS, FINANCINGS, RECAPITALIZATIONS, AND REAL ESTATE PROJECTS. WE FOCUS IN FOUR AREAS: IN NONPROFIT COLLABORATION, WE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ALREADY HAVE A SERIOUS INTEREST IN COMING TOGETHER - OR IN EXPLORING HOW THEY MIGHT - BY COVERING A PORTION OF THE COSTS OF EXPLORING OR COMPLETING THE TRANSACTION. WE MANAGE TWO FUNDS - THE SEACHANGE-LODESTAR FUND FOR NONPROFIT COLLABORATION AND THE NEW YORK MERGER, ACQUISITION, AND COLLABORATION FUND - THAT MAKE GRANTS TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, JOINT-VENTURES, AND OTHER TYPES OF FORMAL, LONG-TERM COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN NONPROFITS. IN ALLIANCE WITH THE CONTACT FUND, SEACHANGE MAKES FLEXIBLE, HIGH-IMPACT LOANS TO NONPROFITS IN NEW YORK CITY THAT HAVE REAL ESTATE, WORKING CAPITAL, OR EXPANSION-RELATED FINANCING NEEDS. IN ADVISORY SERVICES, WE PROVIDE FINANCIAL AND TRANSACTION-ORIENTED ADVISORY SERVICES TO NONPROFITS THAT ARE CONSIDERING, OR UNDERGOING, A SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, FINANCIAL MODEL-BUILDING AND SCENARIO PLANNING, TERM SHEET DEVELOPMENT, AND TRANSACTION-SUPPORT. IN MARKET-MAKING, WE STRIVE TO "MAKE MARKETS" WITHIN OUR NETWORK BY CONNECTING PARTIES WITH COMPLEMENTARY GOALS. WE ALSO CONVENE GROUPS AROUND TOPICS OF COMMON INTEREST THAT SEEM LIKELY TO LEAD TO TRANSACTIONS. OUR VISION IS OF A PHILANTHROPIC MARKET WHERE INFORMATION FLOWS FREELY, FACILITATING GREATER IMPACT THROUGH INCREASED AND MORE EFFECTIVE GIVING, KNOWLEDGE SHARING, AND COORDINATED ACTION.
