Take Control of Your Debt. Invest More in Your Mission.

Debt doesn’t have to be a burden. With the right approach, refinancing can free up cash, reduce risk, and strengthen your organization’s long-term sustainability. At DBD Group, we serve as your independent partner—helping you secure the best terms while protecting your valuable relationships with lenders.

Why Refinance?

Refinancing isn’t just about lowering debt—it’s about positioning your organization for long-term strength and mission impact.
  • Unlock cash flow by lowering interest rates, restructuring amortization, or addressing balloon payments.
  • Gain flexibility with loan terms that adapt to future strategic opportunities.
  • Protect relationships by letting us serve as your third-party debt steward, keeping volunteers engaged without the pressure of lender negotiations.
  • Build internal expertise so your team is better prepared for future financing needs.

DBD Group’s proven process:

We guide you step by step, ensuring you have full clarity, confidence, and control:

  1. Fact Gathering & Assessment* – Review existing debt and assess feasibility.
  2. Establish Boundaries & Objectives – Define ideal terms, structure, and alignment with campaigns or incentives.
  3. Positioning for Debt – Develop strong documentation and lender-ready materials.
  4. Going to Market* – Approach lenders from a position of strength with clear expectations.
  5. Analysis & Selection – Compare offers side by side, negotiate improvements, and empower your leadership to choose.
  6. Closing – Finalize agreements, pay off existing debt, and put new financing to work for your mission.

*After critical steps in the process, we pause with your leadership to confirm feasibility and alignment—ensuring every step keeps your organization on the right path and moving toward the best decision and outcome.
