Founding pilot cohort
A paid seat in the neighborhood directory. Every church we fund is required to spend the directory portion of its stipend with member businesses, and a no-loss guarantee backs eligible Growth and Pro business memberships.
Why it works for you
Sponsorship usually costs money and gives nothing measurable back. Here, the customers are part of the design.
Every church we fund is required to spend the directory portion of its stipend with member businesses like yours.
Each new church that joins adds more required directory spending flowing to member businesses. Early members hold the least crowded seats.
A Proud Community Sponsor sign in your window tells neighbors that spending with you funds a cleaner block.
What it could look like at scale (projection, not a result): 1,000 partner churches in the U.S. would mean $1.2M a month in required directory spending; 1,000 in Kenya would mean KES 25M a month. The long-term target is 60,000 churches worldwide.

The no-loss guarantee
Over your first 12 months, we track the business the directory sends you. If it adds up to less than the dues you paid, we refund the difference, and your second year of membership is free.
Applies to businesses at the Growth and Pro levels. Organizations (CBOs, NGOs and PBOs) have their own earn-back income track instead. It does not apply to vendors and home-based businesses or to free Launch members. It is measured on spending reported through the program and is not a promise of any particular number of customers.
Where your dues go
Between 25% and 30% of what every business pays each month flows into the program fund, carried out on the ground by partner churches in your zone.
Pick up trash
Remove graffiti
Mow overgrown lots
Board up unsafe buildings
The pitch to your customers writes itself: here, trash gets picked up, graffiti gets removed, lots get mowed, and unsafe buildings get boarded, funded in part by what they just spent.
For CBOs, NGOs & PBOs
Community organizations join at the Pro level like any member, then receive a monthly stipend once they've recruited 3 businesses and submitted data on 40+ households they already serve inside our zones. Household data is collected with explicit consent.
Bring three businesses into the directory.
The households you already serve inside our zones, collected with their consent.
KES 20,000 (Kenya) or $300 (U.S.) each month once both conditions are met.
CBOs, NGOs, and PBOs follow this earn-back track instead of the no-loss guarantee.

No. Nexus is a for-profit company. Members receive membership benefits, and Nexus commits 25–30% of what members pay each month to visible neighborhood work carried out by partner churches. Bridgewell Urban Group is the nonprofit that runs the program on the ground, and its registration is in process.
A free membership for startups and micro businesses that are small and lack funding, vouched for by a partner church. Launch members get a one-page profile site, a QR code for their marketing and a small contact list. They are not listed in the neighborhood directory and do not receive the guarantee.
Between 25% and 30% of what businesses pay each month goes into the program fund, which pays for visible work in the neighborhood, carried out by partner churches in their zones.
From for-profit sources: Alliance Capital Reserve's capital and the fees members pay for their digital products and services packages, a portion of which supports the program. That money supports Bridgewell Urban Group and the partner churches carrying out the work in each zone. Partner churches report each month how their directory and outreach budgets were spent.
