OutBrave
INTRODUCTION

Why do we lie about nonprofits?

Nonprofit funding is brutally competitive. The consequence: grassroots, community-led teams are spread thin to compete for money against well-established organizations built on marketing. This competition leaves those most in need underserved.

The social sector needs a new paradigm. OutBrave was founded on the belief that giving to sincere givers is the only way to heal individuals, communities, and societies.

We hear you. Like you, we are advocates.

We have witnessed our clients forced to refuse helping the needy due to lack of additional capital. We have witnessed our dearest allies working three jobs just to sustain their service.

OutBrave turns the tide for grassroots leaders. We support your most ambitious dreams with multidisciplinary expertise. We exclusively serve changemakers in every way we can, from building a multichannel fundraising strategy to personal encouragement calls.

Outbrave is beyond diagnostic listening and resolution — it is deep, daily dedication to your mission.

WE HEAR YOU
BRANDING

Branding that unleashes bravery

In our digital-native world, brands extend far beyond their former scope of visual identity. Today's brands determine community trust; brands create livable, memorable experiences. We transform grassroots teams into social missions.

We tailor our strategy specifically around our clients’ biggest problems. From consumer research to competitor analyses, we carefully position an organization in the global landscape.

Our creative team delivers a classic asset portfolio, rapidly distributing your voice through highly targeted channels — including our network of journalists, social influencers, and advocacy events. Campaigns, built on our approach, raise over $1M USD (early-stage) over 6 months.

Technology that enables leaps

We believe technology — when executed well — scales grassroots teams into global movements. To navigate a digital-native future, nonprofits must change the way they work.

Based in Stanford and Silicon Valley, OutBrave is beyond technology. We ground state-of-the-art technology with deep sociology expertise. We use rapid prototyping, usability testing and iterative development to deliver prototypes in ~7 days. We test, iterate and optimize in everything we do.

The result? Authentic, memorable engagement in digital-first giving.

IMPACT

Impact that heals communities

Metrics are more than north stars. Great metrics can skyrocket a team’s mission.

As a qualitative and quantitative research studio, OutBrave blends ethnography with data engineering to holistically understand communities. We have discovered growth strategies reaching up to $750M+ USD of new capital for marginalized groups over 10 years.

We select partnerships for their sincerity, accepting far fewer projects than we are able to take on. This is how we bring uncanny devotion to every person we serve.
