• Thanks to the revolving fund, organizations who receive RoadMap Rapid Response support can work with consultants at no initial cost.

• Once the crisis has been resolved, RoadMap will work with your organization to see if you can directly contribute to replenish the fund, or if a funder can contribute to the fund on your behalf.
