OIC’s advisory model
Clarify mandate
Define the purpose of capital, intended beneficiaries, risk posture, values alignment and desired outcomes.
Design architecture
Translate intent into advisory, fund, endowment, grant, blended capital or reporting structures.
Screen opportunities
Review project pipeline against mandate, feasibility, leadership, governance and impact criteria.
Support decisions
Prepare board, donor, investment committee or management-ready materials for disciplined decision-making.
Measure outcomes
Use Theory of Change, metrics, dashboards and narratives to evidence what changed because capital was deployed.
How we assess impact quality
OIC assesses impact through the lens of redemptive capital — capital that is stewarded not only for financial return or charitable activity, but toward spiritual formation, economic ownership and social transformation.
Redemptive Capital
Redemptive capital sits at the intersection of spiritual formation, economic ownership and social transformation. It asks whether capital is helping people and communities become more whole — not only financially stronger, but also more dignified, responsible, resilient and restored.
For OIC, impact quality is therefore not measured only by outputs, activities or attractive stories. We assess whether an initiative demonstrates faithful enterprise, compassionate justice and sustainable impact over time.
Spiritual Formation
Does the work form people, leaders and communities toward stewardship, dignity, service and redemptive purpose?
Economic Ownership
Does the initiative create pathways for agency, enterprise, livelihood, capability and responsible ownership?
Social Transformation
Does the work address injustice, strengthen communities and create measurable improvements in human flourishing?
