About This Webinar
With the reduction in federal funding and the resulting increase in competition for private grant funding and donor support, having diverse revenue streams has never been more important for nonprofits. Land trusts from across the country are using or contemplating entrepreneurial approaches to revenue. These new approaches can deepen land trusts’ relationships with their communities and bring the conservation message to new audiences. Taught by Ole Amundsen, experienced fundraising, finance and strategic planning professional, this webinar will support your organization on its journey to diversifying funding sources. Here’s a look at what we will cover:
A self-assessment of the diversity and opportunities of your organization’s funding sources.
Examples of new revenue opportunities from land trusts across the country.
How to determine if your new revenue generating source is mission related (not taxable) or is unrelated business income (taxable).
Scenarios to test your new skills determining whether income is mission-related or unrelated. These will be conducted in small breakout rooms.
