Earned Income Business Model
Earned Income is the first of a series of 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 session from the Nonprofit 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 have access to an all-star cast of presenters and moderators in this session 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. We will also present real-life cases and host an active conversation among participants and panelists.
