Workshop:
Generating Immediate Revenue for Nonprofits


MissionWise
Have you been thinking about starting a social enterprise? Join us for a workshop on creating earned income opportunities. The hands-on program will provide a series of real-life examples, simple exercises, along with discussion, dialogue and debate. You will be able to inventory your organization's strengths and assets as building blocks to identifying short-term earned income opportunities and long-term business strategies to advance your mission and increase organization revenue. Participants will:
  • Discuss current nonprofit trends and the realities and impact of the economic environment.
  • Inventory their organizations' strengths and assets.
  • Identify opportunities for short-term earned income.
  • Identify opportunities for effective long-term business strategies.
  • Determine action steps to implement short- and long-term initiatives.
