Public-Private Partnership
Using the Public Markets to Advance Education and Community Causes
At Fortune Nickel and Gold, we believe that resource development and social responsibility can work hand in hand. Through our innovative Public–Private Partnership model, we are using the tools of the capital markets not only to fund our mineral exploration initiatives, but also to strengthen educational institutions and other mission-driven organizations.
The Reg A Offering and Our Commitment to Carleton College
In our Regulation A offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Fortune Nickel and Gold has committed to a unique initiative: For every share sold in our Reg A offering, we will contribute one additional share of our common stock to Carleton College.
This structure creates a direct link between our investors and the advancement of higher education:
Investors
​support our business and exploration projects.
Carleton College
receives stock donations, which may provide long-term financial benefit if our company grows in value.
The Public Market
becomes a platform not just for raising capital, but for advancing important social missions.
A Model for Colleges, Non-Profits, and Churches
We are starting this model with Carleton College to demonstrate how it works, but our approach is not limited to Carleton College. We see this as a blueprint for other organizations to consider:
By working with companies conducting SEC-qualified offerings—such as Reg A—non-profit organizations can gain:​
​​
-
A new source of donated assets with potential to appreciate in value.
-
Increased visibility through co-promotion with the partner company.
-
A shared mission platform, bringing investors, donors, and supporters together.
How it Works
1. A company raises capital through a qualified SEC offering.
2. A predetermined percentage or matching number of shares is donated to a partner institution or cause.
3. Both the company and the partner organization promote the initiative, building awareness and engagement.
4. The partner holds or monetizes the stock according to its policies and financial needs.
This approach represents a new way for mission-driven organizations to benefit from the growth of entrepreneurial companies—and for investors to see their dollars work twice: once for business growth, and again for the community.
