About Income and finance

Income generation helps organisations become financially independent and sustainable by creating diverse income streams.

Income generation is about securing the future of your organisation by developing independent and sustainable sources of income.

There are a number of ways in which third sector organisations generate income, by trading a product or delivering a public service, by raising funds from collections, through major donors, individual donors and corporate donors, by winning grants or even through loan finance.

Whichever way your organisation generates income, it is important to reduce financial risk by diversifying your income streams. Reliance on one income stream may leave your organisation vulnerable.

The income generation workstream exists to help organisations diversify their income streams by providing training and resources for those who support frontline organisations and groups. Our aim is to create a sustainable and independent third sector.
