UCP launched its Mission Driven Business consulting services in 2010 to ensure its affiliate network remains a vibrant part of the landscape serving people with disabilities. Utilizing the expertise in the affiliate network, along with UCP staff and volunteer board and committee members, UCP deploys Mission Driven Consulting teams to work on projects ranging from strategic planning and executive search to financial analysis and social enterprise development.

History

In 2009, UCP's board and affiliates identified as a priority a focus on their growth as they pursue our mission of advancing the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities through an affiliate network. In order to support the development and growth of UCP, we offer specific products and services, including two main offerings: Mission Driven Consulting, Mission Driven Finance.

Mission Driven Business

Some of the network-wide products that we are testing out include a casualty insurance offering and other insurance products.

Mission Driven Consulting

We offer consulting services to affiliates by reaching back to the network, including affiliate executives and staff, as well as Board members and other volunteers as part of the consulting team. The services we offer include business models and planning, strategic planning, executive recruiting, Development Department redesign market expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and organizational change management.

Mission Driven Consulting is currently working with affiliates on a variety of projects including a new smart home monitoring enterprise, strategic planning, board and governance renewal, recruiting and restructuring a development department. We are planning to begin providing consulting services beyond the network, leveraging UCP's leadership to support the entire Independent Sector.

Mission Driven Finance

We are developing financial programs such as a loan fund that will lend our affiliates money for a variety of purposes, including expansion, acquisition, new construction, and renovation of existing or acquired facilities. Mission Driven Finance also works with affiliates to solve financing challenges, including innovative green and bond financing for construction and facilities acquisition.
