Income generation

The Income Generation Programme exists to promote a range of income generating options that can be applied to assist development workers and leaders improve organisational independence and financial stability.

Diversifying your income streams is sound financial management. Relying on one income stream leaves your organisations open to financial risk. If your primary income stream is withdrawn or significantly reduced it could jeopardise the future of your organisation. By developing several income streams you spread that risk. Developing an additional income stream by trading a product, for example, allows organisations to generate revenue (unrestricted income), which can be reinvested to increase capacity and ultimately, create a financial independent and sustainable organisation.

We offer a range of activities to support thinking right through to implementation.

If you would like more information about any of our activities please contact a member of our team at income@acevo.org.uk.

Our programme is open to individuals from all organisations that provide support to frontline third sector organisations. We promote our individual training programmes, events and resources through Skills and Knowledge for Local Development (SKiLD), the Improving Support website and e-bulletins and through our partners’ networks.
