The Revenue Funding section of the Social Business Canva is all about figuring out how you will get the resources you need to start and keep your social enterprise running and growing. In this section, you’ll need to think about the different sources of funding you’ll be using, and estimate what percentage of your revenue will come from each source.
This will help you understand how much you’ll be relying on short-term funding sources like grants and donations, versus more stable income sources like sales of products or services. Having a clear understanding of your revenue funding sources can help you make informed decisions about the future of your social enterprise.
Use the following questions to help you prepare your revenue funding plan:
- What are the main sources of funding for your social enterprise?
- What percentage of your funding do you expect to come from each source?
- How reliable are these sources of funding?
- Are there any potential risks or challenges associated with relying on these sources?
- What strategies can you use to diversify your funding sources and reduce your risk?
