Earned Revenue Funded is the second lesson in the series of 5 seminars on the 5 most common Nonprofit Business Models. It is fitting that earned income be the first of these since fee for services dominates the nonprofit revenue landscape at more than a trillion dollars annually.
This lesson from the Nonprofit Financial Commons is designed to help you consider what the earned
income business model requires in terms of leadership, oversight, processes, capitalization, and
infrastructure. It will address common mistakes and complications as well as tools and resources.
You will learn from an all-star cast of presenters and moderators in this lesson as we review
factors that appear to lead to either success or failure in nonprofit earned-income ventures. In
addition, we will review what goes into responsible business planning and risk containment and
how to approach capitalization.
