For non-profit organizations like HALOS, reducing overhead is more than an operational objective, it directly affects the impact of their mission.

“Joining Venture X helped us reduce our overhead by more than fifty percent, allowing us to invest more of our resources into serving children and caregivers.”

– Jed Dews, Executive Director

HALOS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening kinship families, a system where relatives or close family friends care for children who cannot safely remain with their parents. 

Guided by this family-focused mission, HALOS provides critical resources for kinship families, including financial assistance, essentials like clothing and school supplies, and access to community resources and support. Their work ensures caregivers have what they need to keep children safe, stable, and connected to family.

Flexibility to Support a Growing Mission

Recently, HALOS transitioned to a remote-first model, and they needed to find the right workspace that would both support their current needs and allow for future growth. The organization needed a central administrative hub and space for team gatherings, private conversations, and welcoming guests and families. 

At Venture X, the HALOS team uses:

• Meeting rooms and outdoor spaces for staff gatherings
• Smaller breakout rooms for private, one-on-one conversations
• Common areas for phone calls, welcoming visitors, and finding a quiet space during busy workdays

Venture X provides structure for HALOS without limiting their ambitions for the future.

Looking Ahead to a Limitless Future

As HALOS looks to scale its operations across the Lowcountry, they envision their partnership with Venture X growing with them. 

“We’re confident that Venture X is the right home for our next chapter. The future feels limitless, and we’re so excited about the possibilities ahead!” – Jed Dews, Executive Director
