EMCF plays a coordinating role among GCAP grantees and co-investors. 

Benefits for co-investors include: 

• Taking advantage of EMCF's due diligence, initial fundraising, and investment management, while reducing grant-related transaction costs.
• Sharing EMCF's detailed performance reporting, investment updates and related learning.
• Strategically partnering with other funders to aggregate capital and achieve philanthropic goals.
• Extending philanthropic reach and organizational brand.
• Forging relationships with institutional and individual philanthropists funding effective programs for disadvantaged youth.

All co-investors have agreed to a joint set of terms and conditions for each investment. They have also adopted in common a performance-based approach to payout and meet quarterly to review grantee performance. One goal of this coordination is to ease the habitual reporting burden on grantees.

If the diligence of the grantees, the dedication of the co-investors, and economic and political conditions make the GCAP a success, by 2017 Nurse-Family Partnership will reach 100,000 mothers every year—nearly one-sixth of the nation’s young, low-income, first-time families. And over the next five years, Youth Villages and Citizen Schools will increase their capacity by more than 50 percent and achieve a scale that will enable them to influence federal and state education and social policy reform.
