Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Activities or mission (Part I)

HALCYON LIFTS UP INNOVATORS AND CREATORS WHO SEEK TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

  • HALCYON INCUBATOR AND INTENSIVES: THE PROGRAM OFFERS FELLOWSHIPS TO SUPPORT EARLY-STAGE IMPACT-DRIVEN BUSINESS FOUNDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE FELLOWSHIPS INCLUDE A FOUR-MONTH RESIDENTIAL FELLOWSHIP IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AS WELL AS INTENSIVE FELLOWSHIPS THAT SERVE DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES, SECTORS, OR DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS WITH TAILORED NEEDS. HALCYON'S FELLOWSHIPS OFFER A COMBINATION OF LEADERSHIP COACHING, LEGAL SUPPORT, CONSULTING SUPPORTING, COACHING, MENTORSHIP, RESIDENCY, SKILL-BUILDING, AND CASH STIPENDS TO HELP FOUNDERS SCALE BUSINESSES SOLVING PROBLEMS IN EVERY SECTOR, FROM EDUCATION, TO ENERGY, TO HEALTH CARE. HALCYON INCUBATOR OFFERS THESE FELLOWSHIPS AT NO COST TO PARTICIPATING ENTREPRENEURS, AND TAKES NO EQUITY IN THEIR VENTURES FOR THE FELLOWSHIP.SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2014 HALCYON HAS SUPPORTED 288 STARTUP VENTURES, WHICH HAVE GONE ON TO RAISE ALMOST $500 MILLION TO SCALE THEIR BUSINESSES, CREATE OVER 6,000 JOBS, AND IMPACT THE LIVES OF 9.3 MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. SEVENTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF OUR VENTURES HAD A FOUNDER OF COLOR, AND SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT HAVE A WOMAN FOUNDER OR CO-FOUNDER. SOURCED AT THEIR FOUNDING STAGES, 84% OF VENTURES ARE STILL IN OPERATION TODAY.

    Expenses $2,077,186 · Grants $635,436

  • IMPACT INVESTING: AS PART OF ITS EFFORT TO GROW THE IMPACT-DRIVEN BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM AND FUEL IMPACT-DRIVEN STARTUPS, HALCYON HAS LAUNCHED THREE FUNDING VEHICLES. WHILE HALCYON INCUBATOR FELLOWSHIPS TAKE NO EQUITY, FOUNDERS SHARED A NEED FOR ACCESS TO LIKEMINDED FUNDERS, LEADING HALCYON TO CREATE:1) THE HALYON FUND, A $5M INVESTMENT FUND SUPPORTING HALCYON INCUBATOR VENTURES THAT DO WANT TO PURSUE VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING. TO DATE, THE HALCYON FUND HAS A PORTFOLIO OF 12 VENTURES.2) HALCYON ANGELS, AN ACTIVE ANGEL INVESTING GROUP THAT SEES HALCYON INCUBATOR VENTURES AS WELL AS OTHER EARLY-STAGE IMPACT-DRIVEN STARTUPS. THE HALCYON ANGELS MEET SIX TIMES PER YEAR TO HEAR PITCHES.3) HALCYON MICROLOAN FUND, AN ALTERNATIVE FUNDING SOURCE FOR D.C.-BASED HALCYON INCUBATOR VENTURES THAT CHOOSE NOT TO PURSUE VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING AT THIS TIME, BUT CAN BENEFIT FROM AN INFUSION OF FUNDING. LOANS OF UP TO $20,000 ARE AVAILABLE, WITH GENEROUS TERMS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SCALING THE VENTURES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
