For the Agency
and other stakeholders—Fiore’s Turnkey Tools™
With the start of our pilot, Mainstay’s principals were confident that Fiore would (and did) facilitate a meaningful decrease in the health problems contributing to a poor quality of life for people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities. What surprised Mainstay’s team was the magnitude of the program’s positive impact to the agency as a whole, and the depth of success for organizational departments beyond Operations and Programs. More specifically, the following eye-opening organizational results were noted and have been further developed, as a package named Fiore’s Turnkey Tools, for our select partners:
- Increased marketing and branding opportunities opened a number of new doors in
the community.
- Captivated funders were so intrigued by a uniquely appealing story and measurable
results that Fiore promptly paid for itself and introduced new revenue streams into the
organization.
- Energized staff bought in to the new initiative and HR campaigns were fortified
overall.
- Reduced food costs impacted the financials immediately.
- Agency reputation in the community catapulted beyond custodial care to include
leadership and innovator status.
Specific Deliverables
for the agency and other stakeholders—Fiore’s Turnkey Tools—include:
- Grant proposal templates (based on what has proven effective with funders) allowing you to seamlessly tailor information based on your agency’s implementation strategy and roll out of Fiore.
- As changes become available, updated and evolving grant templates to reflect the evolving nature of your program, the resultant customer and societal impact, and the funding markets.
- Periodic conference calls with Development staff to provide innovative Fiore-based funding opportunities (such as special events), and to answer questions.

- Proven HR recommendations and methodologies to build esprit de corps among staff, and recognition for those who embrace Fiore and achieve novel results and outcomes within your organization—provided quarterly.
- Critical administrative reports, availability predicated on the Pinpoint™ database information you collect, (under our helpful direction) and which allows management to compare:
- Nutrition averages over time and across homes.
- Per person daily food costs for each location.
- Expected food costs based on the shopping list (according to the menus selected and the number of people for each meal)—for comparison and control purposes.
