Earned Income

Earned income is a financial pillar for many nonprofit organizations. Whether it’s ticket sales, gift shops, facility rentals or payment for social services, income analysis will help determine ways to improve results. 

Many nonprofit boards and donors encourage organizations to offer for-profit services that mesh with their missions. But finding start-up money means putting together a business case, complete with some market information, revenue and cash flow projections and detailed expenses. We have helped nonprofits work through that process toward sound, well-documented financial decisions that can be used to attract funding.

Membership income is a special type of earned income, one that offers major opportunities. EMD principals have helped many nonprofits build strong membership programs and related revenue streams.
