 Let Us Help Your Grantees Diversify Revenue, Expand Impact, and Build a Lasting Future.
Start with an informative earned income training session for a large group. Follow up with structured business plan development for a small group.
 Given the current ongoing economic challenges faced by your Grantees, many are striving to balance the increased demand for services with the challenges of reduced available funding and capacity to do the work.
While the concept of revenue diversification may seem obvious and desirable to many, it is not always the top priority in organizations that have received limited education, training, and help with implementation on the topic.
Now, more than ever, it is critical that your Grantees look beyond the typical ways of generating income. They need to look for opportunities that will provide them with margin to better meet their mission.
OUR NEWEST OFFERING: NONPROFIT MARGIN & MISSION BUILDER™
 |
| Kidworks Computer Lab, Costa Mesa, CA |
For many of your Grantees, earned income opportunities are within closer reach than they may realize. The reason for this is that several of them have created assets of value that can be sold to other stakeholders to help generate financial resources for their organization. This could include anything from curriculum, trainings, public speaking engagements, consulting services, to a whole host of other offerings.
With No Margin, No Mission’s™ new Nonprofit Margin & Mission Builder™, your Grantees will have the unique opportunity to participate in our valuable Earned Income Training and Business Planning process. Not only will they explore the basics of earned income through a half or full day workshop that introduces the topic in a highly engaging, interactive, and informative session, but a select group of them will be chosen through an application process to receive technical assistance for development of a business plan geared to an earned income offering that already exists in their organization.
