OG Yoga chose to be fiscally Sponsored by Mission Edge San Diego and we have been thrilled with the supportive services and consulting. They professionally handle our HR, Finance, and Taxes. They were successful in securing PPP funding in both 2020 and 2021. I have enjoyed the relationships from Mission Edge and especially was appreciative for the SAIL Program for social enterprises. I learned so much from this unique program which resulted in two new enterprises including the OG Yoga Studio and the OG Yoga Teacher Training School. Mission Edge provides tremendous support for founders like myself

For small nonprofits with limited staff, being fiscally sponsored by Mission Edge can be a smart decision. I especially like that they handle all of our HR concerns and keep up to date with laws in that area so that we do everything properly. You are one step removed from the accounting details though. Thus, if you like to pull custom financial reports on an ad hoc basis, that is something you need to consider. Overall, a good decision especially when getting started or when your staff needs to focus on your mission and not the back office requirements.

Mission Edge is an excellent resource for anyone starting a business - from business planning to executive support. My time with the CitySail accelerator made a direct impact on my business. Working with Ken, Jeff, and Kacie (along with the rest of their wonderfully talented team) has been an incredibly valuable experience. From improving my pitch to preparing my financials for fundraising, they shared their collective experience and helped me develop as an executive.
It's refreshing to see a team that is dedicated to making a social impact through their business know-how. The program is intense

Mission Edge provided an excellent City SAIL business accelerator focused on helping social impact businesses in San Diego. We (BrilliantBiome) were part of their virtual cohort and everyone involved were able to minimize the impact of the Coronavirus imposed virtual environment and provided an engaging curriculum, discussions, and community among the entrepreneurs similar to an in person environment. We were given the opportunity to have Ken as our mentor and very thankful to him and all of the rest of the amazing staff and speakers for their support. I now feel more empowered to accomplish our

I am so proud of the entire Mission Edge team and the leadership of Ken Davenport. All work tirelessly to elevate and build the capacity of the nonprofit sector. Mission Edge helps with cost effective back end administration like human resources and finance as well as innovation and social enterprise supporting nonprofits grow in a sustainable way. I work at The San Diego Foundation and Mission Edge has been an extremely valuable partner helping with our Covid-19 relief efforts and expanding our suite of services to our donors. They are problem solvers. We are better together.

Mission Edge is one of those rare organizations that lives their ethos. They have a passion-filled commitment to impact by partnering with businesses and non-profits to make them as successful as possible, and as sustainable as possible. They give back to the community in a number of ways from their SAIL program to leadership donating time to train entrepreneurs outside of their day to day. I'm grateful to know Mission Edge! They're a wonderful group of people.

My partner Eric Mowrey and I are so grateful to Mission Edge including Ken Davenport and Kacie Brennell. We participated in the Mission Edge SAIL Program in the Winter of 2019. This was a key part of us building a sustainable vision and plan for our Passion Purpose Academy, which focuses on supporting at risk youth with career and life training. We specifically focus on support Native American High School Youth. We greatly appreciated the program's sessions with useful guidance as well as the guidance from our mentor Hem Suri who spent countless hours with us to help us build and develop our plan

Mission Edge is my "go to" for helping support us with our Interim HR needs. They have strong, professional and qualified staff who are ready to support our needs real time. I strongly recommend Mission Edge anytime and especially when you are in a bind. They are ready to step in and make sure your organization remains of top of staffing, compliance, strategic initiatives and much more.

The team at Mission Edge is so dynamic. There are a lot of incubators and accelerators but Mission Edge was by far the most practical and useful to not only launching and growing my social enterprise, but walking beside me when major opportunities arose. Ken Davenport is an incredible leader, well known in San Diego, who has hired a dynamic team. Kacie Brennell has been able to help me focus on key messaging, online ads, pitching and she has an innate gift that she teaches to me and so many others. Mission Edge feels like a community and I am so thrilled I was able to do City SAIL last year- I
