06 — NPCA Funding Model

Because a capital-access platform that charges nobody is unusual, this document exists to show that the financial model actually supports the neutrality the program claims. It states the principle — NPCA’s costs are borne by parties that benefit from public-good provision rather than by the parties whose neutrality the program protects — and then gives the reasoning for each participant in turn: charging capital providers would create pay-to-play dynamics, charging contractors would filter out smaller and workforce-focused firms, charging property owners would suppress pipeline, and charging anyone would create private-benefit risk inconsistent with 501(c)(3) status. Includes the full fee matrix, all zeros across seven fee types and three participant types.
