Our Story

Resilia powers the people changing the world. 

Resilia, a name that represents a commitment to positive impact, is a SaaS platform solution that enables nonprofits to increase capacity and funders to go beyond the grant with technical assistance, coaching, and capacity-building support. We meet changemakers where they are.

Originally launched by our founder Sevetri Wilson as ExemptMeNow, a platform for nonprofit incorporation, Resilia has evolved to serve nonprofits, foundations, corporations, governments, and other grantmakers with a suite of features designed to strengthen nonprofit capacity and amplify philanthropic impact. Our methodology is centered on trust-based philanthropy principles. 

Resilia’s mission has always been to strengthen and lift up nonprofit organizations by elevating their stories, driving advocacy efforts, and prioritizing those that are underserved through long-term capacity building. From our team to the organizations we serve, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is in everything we do.

WORDS TO ACT BY

We bring our values to life through operating principles that provide guidance on how we work.

A person holding a courageous posture sits on top of a mountain — showing they’re willing to make the effort to achieve big things.

Be Lionhearted

Our purpose to power the people changing the world demands courage. We pursue big ideas, we do what we say we’re going to do, we own it when we make mistakes, and we choose accountability in pursuit of growth. We aspire to transform the sector from funder-driven to nonprofit first — and we pursue that aspiration with boldness and determination.

A person raises a hand to their ear, eagerly listening to apply what they learn. That knowledge shows up as chat bubbles. New knowledge is planted and grows around them as flowers.

Put Nonprofits First

We believe that nonprofits know best what they and the communities they serve need to support their work. With this in mind, we approach our work with curiosity and a commitment to co-create innovative and scalable solutions with our partners. Nothing about them, without them.

A person analyzes information and selects a next step to drive the mission forward. The information is represented as vegetation — showing that it has life and is ever-changing.

Move the Needle

We use a data-driven approach to experiment, evaluate, and enhance our platform. By combining quantitative and qualitative data about our partners’ needs with a bias for action to advance our mission, we make informed decisions about which initiatives to work on and determine how we can quickly move the needle where it matters most.

A person looks into the mirror for a daily ritual. They tug at their collar to show determination; flower buds surround them. In the mirror, they see the next day’s self — bloomed flowers and a gentle smile show progress.

Elevate Equity

We understand that driving equity within the industry means holding it in our hearts and prioritizing it in our own culture first. From continuously educating ourselves individually and as a team, to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into our ways of working, to creating an environment where team members’ voices are heard—every Resilian does their part.

We see three people from different races, ages, genders. Each shares a puzzle piece — a unique perspective. Together they complete a puzzle and achieve great things. We see vegetation representing growth. Circular lines show a sustained connection.

Create Gathering Places

Our team and our partners have an incredible range of lived experiences and expertise. We create gathering places where we come together to connect, share knowledge, collaborate, and maximize our impact. Through thought partnership and tools to take action, we support one another as we navigate complex challenges.
