OUR WORK
We worked with Plum Health, a social profit start-up, that works to provide a new health care subscription model to help serve underserved populations in Detroit. BOND was engaged to develop a strategy to enable sustainable growth to help increase health care access and allow for expansion to new locations.

OUR IMPACT
We developed a growth strategy that will enable Plum to see 70% growth over the next year. We created a dynamic pricing model to reverse margin compression. In addition, our recommendations helped Plum open a second location and hire additional doctors and nurses, allowing a significant number of underserved populations in Detroit to receive affordable access to quality healthcare.

OUR WORK
After recent budget cuts, the Homeless Shelter of Washtenaw County was forced to close down an entire level of the shelter. BOND was engaged to understand the key drivers of homelessness to help improve job opportunities and housing placement for individuals experiencing homelessness, and to increase the cost efficiency of the shelter.

OUR IMPACT
We developed a unique program to allow ex-convicts to work in the food kitchen to gain skills necessary to work in the restaurant industry. We proposed a joint funding agreement with a local area hospital and provided cost cutting recommendations, enabling the shelter to reopen the 2nd floor. We developed a targeted donor program to increase donations by over $80,000, and identified the most impactful programs to direct future investment toward.

OUR WORK
The Towsley Children’s Center is an on-campus preschool which had seen a significant drop in profits after enrollment dropped with costs increasing. BOND was brought in to help several of the unprofitable locations to ensure that the Towsley could continue to serve the local populace.

OUR IMPACT
We provided several recommendations that led to a $150,000 increase in profit in just one year. We developed a waitlist system that helped improve class enrollment, and developed new classes to increase student retention. We also identified and implemented cost reductions to return the location to profitability.
