NFF's Work in Pay For Success

NFF serves as significant contributor and trusted advisor to service providers, government, and other stakeholders exploring PFS Financing. Since 2011, we have led outreach efforts to multiple stakeholders and acted as pre-transaction advisor to a wide variety of parties pursuing a PFS model.  We have supported government agencies (HUD, DOL, DOJ and OMB) as they have advanced PFS projects, and served as trainer and advisor to local governments and nonprofits looking to participate in PFS and outcomes-based finance more generally.  Our work in this field is generously supported by the Rockefeller Foundation,The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The Joyce Foundation.
