Background

SHERPA Institute is a nonprofit (501c3) organization incorporated in the United States, with team members around the globe. Our founders are die-hard capitalists (albeit with a commitment to social responsibility), so our structure is uncharted territory. We were initially incorporated as a Colorado Benefit Company. While our first obligation was not to shareholders, the company still had “owners” who naturally expected some degree of profit.

So Why are We a Nonprofit?

From our inception, SHERPA Institute has had an audacious 1500-year vision to create A WORLD WE ALL WANT for future generations. Looking 25 generations into the future requires innovative thinking and a plan to be enduring.

A typical corporate structure faces the risk of being sold, acquired, merged, or simply going out of business. However, a corporation without owners is organically sustainable and regenerative. Continually renewing and training additional associates, contributors, and partners becomes the succession plan. We considered an ESOP; however, the company would have still had owners. A nonprofit corporation is ideal for our mission and our 1500 year planning.

SHERPA Institute’s funding to date has been comprised of revenue generated by Sherpa Sustainability Institute, Founders’ and Officers’ investments, and the support of few, yet very generous benefactors. Multiple revenue streams include CISR Certifications, CISR Corporate deployments, virtual conferences, and training in, for example, CISR, ISO, and Leadership. While sustainable thus far, our budgetary needs for the 17 SDG Corporate Guidebooks are quickly outpacing current revenue streams. Profit from sales of the guidebooks themselves do not go to SHERPA; royalties earned will go to our Co-Authors.
