“People want to support a winning organization not a whining organization.”
9. Keep an eye out for special funding opportunities
Occasionally there will be one time funding programs or grant opportunities. They don’t happen on a predictable basis, but they can make a big difference when they are available. These often tend to require new projects and innovative ideas. Always try to have an innovative idea or two in your back pocket for moments like this. It can pay off handsomely.
10. You can also earn funds by starting ancillary businesses
It is within the rights of charities to create businesses whose profits support the work of the charity. This can be through renting out space in your museum, concert hall, public garden, school, or nature preserve for weddings, conferences, business meetings, or training programs. It can be through renting event tents, providing catering services, dorm rooms for rent, photography, or communication services, or even ticket selling services.
