Frequently Asked Questions
-
What organizations or types of organization does One Unified Team support?We're not particularly focused on specific nonprofit organizations ("NPO") or types of NPO. Rather, we're focused on the shared vision that every K-12 youth in our city of Quincy, MA is empowered with the opportunities, experiences, and outcomes needed to reach their full potential regardless of their background or circumstances. That means we're open to partnering with any locally based 501(c)(3) public charity organization that actively supports this shared vision.
-
Besides the state of K-12 education, is One Unified Team open to supporting other areas such as food or housing security?Like every nonprofit out there, we'd love to tackle every problem facing our local community. The reality is we can't. To have any shot at long-term success, we want to focus and excel on only one area at a time. That said, we're only focusing on funding and supporting sustainably operated K-12 educational programs as well as small projects designed to bring us closer to the shared vision. This way, we know we can make a progressive impact without breaking our bank.
-
Besides Quincy, Massachusetts, is One Unified Team open to supporting neighboring cities and towns?We're only focusing our available resources to help just our own community of Quincy, Massachusetts. We firmly believe that every city and town within the Commonwealth would be uplifted if every person within their own community just "chips in" a little in some way, shape, or form. We also believe that members of neighboring communities would agree with this point of view and it's really up to them to step up and help their own.
-
How big is One Unified Team?We just got started in early 2024 so we're very new and very small. We're not interested in becoming big. We're not interested in going viral. We just want to "chip in" and "do something" to help our local community thrive. In fact, we're small enough that we only operate on a part-time basis. If we do grow, it'll be done at a slow pace. After all, we're not in a race with anyone. We believe what we're doing is a journey that requires a lot of patience, perseverance, and practice.
-
How much funding and support can One Unified Team provide?While we don't impose a firm limit on the amount of advisory and consultancy support for any funded engagement (i.e., program, event, project). we generally limit funding to no more than $2,500-$5,000 as we only specialize in mini-grantmaking. We're simply too small to exceed this amount per engagement. Also, we won't fund any 501(c)(3) nonprofit by clicking on the "Donate" button on their website. That's just not how we operate. The use of the "Donate" button, while perfect for donors who don't truly care where their money will go or how it will be used, just feels unconnected and transactional. It takes real human interactions to develop effective partnerships.
-
How is One Unified Team funded? Where does it get the funding to take on projects?We only have one funding source and that's the income generated from investments in the market. A well performing market means more funding and vice-versa.
-
Can One Unified Team sponsor community events?While we won't single-handedly sponsor a community event of any size, we could consider signing up for secondary sponsorship if a primary sponsor organization is already performing all operational planning and execution responsibilities including, but not limited to, sales, marketing, venue acquisition, indemnification, physical and logical security, food & beverage. We're simply too small to deal with those things.
-
Is One Unified Team associated or affiliated with any political, religious, or cultural organization?We have no formal association or affiliation with any political, religious, or cultural organization. Considering the nature of what we do, there's no need for it. We're basically nonpartisan and non-religious and we operate in a way that's agnostic to culture, race, ethnicity, gender, etc. That means we're open to engaging any locally based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports the shared vision that every K-12 youth in our community is empowered with the opportunities, experiences, and outcomes needed to reach their full potential regardless of background or circumstances.
-
How do I engage with One Unified Team on a program or project?If you're a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity in good standing, registered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a non-profit entity, have a demonstrated track record of supporting the advancement of K-12 youths within our community of Quincy, MA, and want to partner with us on an educational program or project, please navigate to our Contact Us page and complete the simple form.
-
How can I donate to One Unified Team?As a small private nonoperating foundation, our core business is in program sponsorships and mini-grantmaking accompanied by advisory and consultancy support for projects that can be completed within a relatively short timeframe. Unlike community foundations that continuously raise money from individual and corporate donors, we're completely self-funded, and as such, we DO NOT seek or accept donations from others. If you want to donate to a worthy cause, there's no shortage of nonprofits out there needing to fundraise. Just do your own independent research for nonprofits that align with the cause you're passionate about so you can donate with clear intentions and a sense of purpose.
