JSC Impact

What JSC Impact does

JSC Impact is a privately-held US boutique consulting firm, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Mountainside, New Jersey, that advises nonprofits and social enterprises on impact financing. The firm serves a narrow client base of mission-driven organizations that need help accessing impact-aligned capital, providing three interlocking services: developing tailored impact-financing strategy (capital-stack design, funder profiling, outreach plans), producing investor-ready materials (data rooms, gap analyses, risk frameworks), and managing end-to-end fundraising execution including prospecting, communications, SPV setup, and investor webinars.

The company is led by Founder & CEO Jeffrey Sobel, whose 25+ years of philanthropic and private investment experience underpins client engagements, supported by a four-person team including Director of Operations Elise Revere, Director of Business Operations Michele Alongi, and Business Development lead Dan Chapman (MBA, University of Notre Dame; ex-CBRE). Revenue is generated through project-based and multi-year consulting engagements priced via custom proposals following discovery calls, with no publicly disclosed pricing or fee schedule. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led: prospective clients schedule a 45-minute Calendly discovery call or complete a web intake form, with marketing conducted through LinkedIn, the company website, and an email newsletter.

JSC Impact operates as part of a self-described 'family of independent consultancies' alongside Oxygen Benefits (a benefits-consulting sister firm led by Wayne Dougal), and has served a roster of roughly ten visible clients including Proteus Ocean Group (Fabien Cousteau), Food Allergy Institute, AG, CRDC, Folia, Quion, FCOLC, NP, L2L, and Wilf. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML capability — its offering is delivered as professional services rather than software.

Core offering

JSC Impact is a boutique consulting firm that guides nonprofits and social enterprises through tailored impact financing solutions, from strategy formulation to successful execution. Its core services include developing optimal impact financing strategies (capital type, funder profiling, and outreach), creating investor-facing materials such as data rooms and gap analyses, and managing fundraising campaigns including SPV formation, prospect communications, and investor webinars. The firm operates as a professional services practice rather than a software or product business.

Product overview

JSC Impact is a consulting firm (not a software product company) offering a unified suite of impact financing consulting services. The core offerings include three interconnected service modules: Impact Financing Strategy (developing optimal capital-raising approaches), Investor Materials (creating/refining investor-facing content and data rooms), and Fundraising Management (active promotion, tracking, and administration of fundraising campaigns). These services work sequentially: strategy informs materials, and both enable fundraising execution for social enterprises seeking impact investment.
