Dual corporate structures, incorporating voluntary groups, and untapped Ad Grants — presenting options most organizations don't know exist.
Why ISVD covers this topic
The potential of nonprofit entities extends far beyond what most people imagine. Dual corporate structures for advertising cost optimization, incorporating voluntary groups to access Google benefits, and introducing Ad Grants to existing NPOs — all are legally possible yet rarely implemented because they are simply unknown. ISVD practices the dual structure with Correlate Design and has firsthand knowledge of its benefits and risks. Making these 'options you could have chosen if you'd known' visible promotes diverse organizational forms in civil society.
