Step 7 Educate Other Organizations on How to Grow Their Revenue Sources

As an intermediary, you are called on to assist smaller FBCO’s in many facets of capacity building, including growing revenue. This guidebook can be used as a teaching tool and resource with small organizations seeking funds. You may utilize the following teaching tips for translating this material to a small organization setting:

  • Use sections of the guidebook to teach parts of the revenue raising process. Steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 can be taught in one-hour increments and as stand-alone units.

  • When teaching the whole guidebook, ask participants to prepare by completing Step 1 at home and bringing it to the seminar.

  • Use the SWOT exercise for individual organization revenue assessment and to measure overall small organization strengths and weaknesses.

  • Small organizations can relate well to a case study of an organization they know or one that sounds like them. Re-do the XYZ Case to reflect the demographics and experiences of a local FBCO.

  • The following illustrations can be converted into handy “job aids”/tools to take back to the office for a small organization: Summary of Revenue Sources, Enhancing Existing Revenue Sources and System Areas Summary

  • The 14 revenue sources can serve as a starter collection for articles, materials samples and cases describing each source. You may be a repository of this information.

  • Host a seminar that takes small FBCO’s through the guidebook and then invites them back in two weeks to present completed Revenue Source Plan Summaries for discussion and critique.
