Introduction

A glowing dollar sign labled Financial StabilityFinancial Stability means you have the resources (financial and non-financial) to cover your program and other organizational expenses.  To determine your stability, you will need to: 

  • Use a formula to determine the true unit cost of your services.
  • Determine the true dollar value of your services to your community and charge accordingly.
  • Establish a strong data tracking and financial recordkeeping system and assign a qualified individual to oversee the data.
  • Constantly be on the lookout for potential new revenue sources.
  • Diversify – diversify – diversify.  The more diverse your funding sources, the more protected you are when one or more sources are no longer available. 

This module will help you develop a Financial Stability Plan that maximizes your resources and minimizes your outlay.
