  • 4. Financial management complicated
  • Multiple donors, each

with their own reporting requirements

  • Overheads no one

wants to pay for

  • Gaps between funding

but still bills to pay

  • No profit margins
  • Separate audits and

bank accounts

  • Restrictions on use of

  • 3. Earn income, don’t beg for donations

For example… Social enterprises are well-established in the United Kingdom:

  • 55,000 social enterprises
  • Turnover of £27 billion/year
  • Employs 5% of workforce
  • Government has a social enterprise

strategy and department of social enterprise

  • Legal form for social enterprises

(community interest company)

  • Social enterprise funds (e.g. DOH

has £100 million in investment fund for social enterprises.)

  • 5. Explore new funding models
  • Sell services/products to beneficiaries (e.g. All Grameen

Projects and A-Z Textiles and SoHCo Housing)

  • Sell services to government (e.g. TADSA and NICRO)
  • Increase paying membership (e.g. Fine Music Radio)
  • Setup/buy and use businesses (e.g. Acumen Fund)
  • Certify (e.g. Forestry Stewardship Council & Heart

Foundation)

  • Increase individual donors (e.g. Doctors without Borders &

Greenpeace)

  • Raise money from successful beneficiaries (e.g UCT

Alumni)

  • Recycle resources (e.g. FeedBack and various community

recycling co-ops)

  • Siphon money from businesses (e.g. Charity Wines or
  • ther cause-related marketing projects)
