New Beginnings supports its member programs with a portfolio of services that is focused on skill-building. Member programs follow a curriculum designed to prepare them to run effective organizations by equipping them with expertise and information in areas like:

Along with ongoing, one-on-one mentoring and group workshops in these areas, New Beginnings' member programs benefit from a range of resources and services that include:

• IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit status;
• fiscal sponsorship and oversight;
• office space at RHD's dedicated Midvale Avenue office;
• basic administrative support;
• basic insurance coverage;
• an annual audit;
• and peer support and mentoring.

All services are included in a membership fee of 15% on expenditures.

Through this formula, New Beginnings' 33 current member programs have developed programming, hired first staff members, received grants from regional and national funders, and earned repeated coverage by media from The Philadelphia Inquirer to The New York Times. Each program is building the skills, networks, and resources it will need to function independently.
