Additional Sources of Revenue
Local nonprofit organizations, businesses or civic and community groups sometimes contribute to a local nonprofit based on the fact that they have similar goals or they have a long-term relationship with the organization. The Community Engagement Module provides additional direction on finding organizations whose missions match with yours. Their support may include:
- In-kind Contributions (space, equipment, staff expertise, publicity or other items/skills). These opportunities are generally not publicized. Your level of proactive Community Engagement is a key factor in successfully partnering with others to secure these kinds of contributions. In-kind contributions help nonprofits reduce expenses while creating valued community-based partnerships.
- Special Fundraising Events often support local causes. A business may host a special fundraising event on behalf of your organization (i.e. 10% of one day’s or one week’s sales support your organization), or they may host a table at your own fundraiser.
