About Us

Launched in November 2025, Sunflower Services (“Sunflower”) is a nonprofit-owned public benefit corporation (PBC) that delivers back-office services for charitable and social welfare organizations and their hosted projects. These services include finance and accounting, human resources, grants management, compliance, and other administrative functions. By providing these services, Sunflower empowers organizations and projects to focus on their missions, not their paperwork.

Sunflower is wholly owned by three nonprofit organizations: New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund. In 2024 alone, these three charities allocated over $1.179 billion in resources to nearly 200 projects focused on social and environmental causes aimed at improving the lives and well-being of people and the planet.

Led by CEO Allan Williams, Sunflower supports the following fiscal sponsors and intermediaries: New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, Hopewell Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, North Fund, Impetus Fund, and Telescope Fund. Each organization contracts with Sunflower to receive operational and administrative support for the organization and its hosted projects. Sunflower itself is not a fiscal sponsor or intermediary.

Sunflower is proud to be organized as a PBC, a structure that embeds social responsibility into the very foundation of the company. As a PBC, Sunflower is legally required to consider the impact of its decisions on its stakeholders and to balance profit with its public benefit purpose. For Sunflower, this means considering the impact of its decisions on the organizations it serves and those organizations’ missions to create positive change in the world. As a PBC, Sunflower can provide support to both charitable and social welfare organizations through a single entity, ensuring high levels of compliance, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Sunflower’s board of directors currently includes representatives of its nonprofit owners (New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund). It will expand to include additional directors with a variety of expertise, including in guiding public benefit corporations.
