Getting Started on Earned Income
and Best Practices
When you are ready to start your journey to social enterprise … or ready to benchmark your best practices, there are several funding options you might explore.
FUNDER-DRIVEN MODEL (Multiple Funders)
Key corporate, foundation or other funders in a community or region work together to sponsor agencies, pooling their investments and enabling multiple agencies. Our consultant/trainers can help with a presentation or informational webinar for funders.
FUNDER-DRIVEN MODEL (Single Funder)
A single funding organization sponsors training for its member agencies (or other group of agencies selected by the funder).
HOSTING ORGANIZATION MODEL
A local nonprofit organization (such as a Center for Nonprofit Excellence, United Way, Community Foundation) hosts training. The hosting organization may recruit other funders or serve as sole funder. The hosting organization manages delivery of the training and can add an administrative overhead to program costs as earned income for the hosting organization.
AGENCY-DRIVEN MODEL
A single agency or group of agencies recruits its/their own funding for training through grants, agency budgets or donor contributions.
NATIONAL AGENCY-MEMBER MODEL
A national or regional headquarters for member agencies sponsors training for all or selected member agencies in a region or community.
