Earned Income Plan
Project details
What we need
- Assessment and recommendations for income-generating activities that will complement the Organization's current mission and existing programs
- Actionable steps necessary to implement recommendations, alongside estimates of upfront time and monetary investment required
- Challenges and potential risks identified in pursuing the plan
What we have in place
- We currently have a strategic plan and working programs, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have supportive board members, community volunteers,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,794 , allowing us to focus on growing a substantial GED program that is centrally located in our community. Removing one more barrier for people wanting to improve their lives through education.
The growth and continuation of our programs is dependent on our ability to find and build ongoing streams of income. We currently depend on writing and receiving grants from foundations and extremely limiting government funding. We would like to move away from government funding dependence that dictates what and how we teach and to whom. Our immediate community would be better served by building capacity to hold a class/group that moves our learners from entry at the GED level to exiting with specific job training at the conclusion of their time with us.
