Getting Started on Earned Income

Here are some ways to bring the Expedition™ program to your community or region.

Cost for the 12 month program (7 classroom sessions, homework and consultation for up to one year) is $12,000 per agency. The cost includes 2 trainer/consultants and materials. Trainer expenses are billed separately. This is only $1,000/month to invest in dynamic and systemic organizational change!

FUNDER-DRIVEN MODEL (Multiple Funders)
Key corporate, foundation or other funders in a community or region work together to sponsor agencies in the Expedition™ journey.

FUNDER-DRIVEN MODEL (Single Funder)
A single funding organization sponsors Expedition™ 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 Expedition™. The hosting organization may recruit other funders or serve as sole funder. The hosting organization manages delivery of Expedition™ and adds an administrative overhead to program costs as earned income for hosting organization.

AGENCY-DRIVEN MODEL
A single agency or group of agencies recruits its/their own funding for Expedition™.
