Join Our Upcoming Webinar: Diversifying Nonprofit Funding - The Business Considerations May Not Be What You Think! https://lnkd.in/ebU2aVEs Is there a guide for wisely and effectively expanding your nonprofit’s funding sources? Join the Nonprofit Financial Commons (NFC) as we unveil a new framework for designing your organization’s best mix of revenue streams. Over the last half-century, nonprofit leaders have been given many prescriptions for long-term financial health—many of which we must now unlearn. The prime among these is the notion that funding diversity is inherently positive for any well-run nonprofit. While this can be true under some conditions, the pursuit of funding diversity can also become a misguided, time, and capital-sucking distraction. 📅 Date: Wednesday, July 10th, 2024 🕑 Time: 2:00 - 3:30 pm ET During this novel session, concluding our groundbreaking 8-part series on nonprofit business models, we will focus on how to judge the revenue sources that best complement your predominant source, whether it be government funding, individual donations, earned income, membership dues, or foundation/institutional funders. Key Takeaways: - The benefits a revenue concentration strategy can have - The good and not-so-good reasons for revenue diversification - Mix and match considerations before starting a new revenue line - What a good business plan includes for revenue diversification Reserve your seat today! https://lnkd.in/ebU2aVEs Additionally, we will conduct a serious review of the board’s critical due diligence role in adopting new revenue sources, so bring those board members along. Our host, Hilda Polanco of BDO, will lead this session and introduce the updated version of NFC’s exclusive nonprofit business model framework, informed by this community over the past eighteen months. Other presenters include Michael Anderson, Mark Hager, Dana Britto, Ruth McCambridge, and Jennifer Metzler Don't miss out on this essential webinar! #Nonprofit #Funding #Webinar #FinancialHealth #NonprofitFinance #RevenueStreams #NFC #NonprofitBusinessModel
