Subcontracted service and program delivery accounts
Recovery of amounts owed to NFPs for subcontracted program delivery, community services and funded project work.
Not-for-profit & community organisations
Debt recovery for not-for-profit & community organisations
Grant acquittals, subcontracted services and supplier invoices — NFPs and community organisations are owed money too. Merion recovers amounts owed to NFPs professionally, on a commission-only basis.
Not-for-profit and community organisations are not exempt from credit risk — they carry it, often without the financial reserves that let a commercial business absorb it. Community service organisations that subcontract delivery of funded programs are owed payment from other NFPs or from government intermediaries who process claims on their own timetable. Social enterprises that supply goods or services to community, government and commercial customers carry the same unpaid invoice exposure as any business. Disability service providers, community housing organisations and health promotion bodies all extend credit and all have overdue accounts — they just rarely have a dedicated credit function to chase them.
Merion recovers amounts owed to not-for-profit and community organisations, including subcontracted service fees, supplier invoices, program delivery payments and grant-related acquittal shortfalls. We understand that NFPs operate in a public-interest context where conduct and reputation matter, and we apply a recovery process that is professional, measured and appropriate to an organisation whose standing in its community is part of its operational capital. Recovery is commission-only — the NFP pays nothing unless we collect — and the initial appraisal is free.
How we help
Recovery tailored to how you get paid
Reputation-appropriate conduct
Professional, measured contact that reflects the community standing of the organisation and does not create reputational risk.
Commission-only — nothing upfront
NFPs pay no upfront fee and only a commission on what is actually recovered — aligned incentives from day one.
Not-for-profits are owed money too
Community organisations have real invoices and real overdue accounts — Merion recovers them on the same professional basis as any commercial client.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with not-for-profit and community organisations?
Yes — NFPs, community service organisations, social enterprises and community housing and health organisations are all clients we work with. Amounts owed to the NFP — subcontracted service fees, supplier invoices and program delivery payments — are commercial accounts we recover.
How is recovery handled given the NFP's community standing?
With professional care. Our contact is measured and appropriate to the organisational context, and we advise you on the approach before making any contact. The NFP's reputation in its community is a factor we take seriously.
What does recovery cost a not-for-profit?
Commission-only on what we recover, agreed in writing before we start. The initial appraisal is free and there is nothing to pay upfront — the NFP only pays if we collect.
