PROGRAM OVERVIEW

What you’ll learn

Get expert advice and peer support from a group of Colorado-based impact leaders to enhance your organization’s earned revenue potential. 

Is your organization thinking about launching a new program to generate earned revenue? Or are you already running a program that aims to make your organization less dependent on grants and donations? Learn to use a proven framework to assess your organization’s capacity to launch and manage innovative new programs that are a) mission-aligned and b) financially sustainable.

Here’s how the program will work:

  • Pre-work – You will complete a short 10-minute assessment of your organization and you’ll get an initial report back on the results.
  • Workshop – Our expert facilitator will walk you through the results and share some ideas on tools & strategies to use to increase your organization’s capacity.
  • Peer Learning – You will have the opportunity to join a peer learning group (optional) that will share experiences as you collectively work to implement tools and strategies.

Why is this training free for my organization?

SVP Denver is a nonprofit that connects nonprofits and social enterprises with the expertise and support they need to grow their impact. We are primarily funded through grants and individual donations that allow us to offer our high-value training for free (or at highly subsidized rates). We are committed to making our programs accessible to all organizations – especially those with inequitable access to resources. 

Is my organization too big/too small for this program?

We believe the learning in this workship is applicable to organizations across a range of sizes and stages of development. You will get access to an assessment and set of management strategies that you can tailor to your organization’s specific needs. Even if you’ve been running earned revenue programs for years, you may gain new insights on how to improve your team’s performance and ability to grow. 

How flexible is the program? I’m not sure I can make all the sessions.

Very flexible! You will have access to two online courses that you can complete at any time. We highly encourage you to join the workshop on May 26. Participation in the 90-day learning group is completely optional, though we do believe you’ll get the most value from the program if you participate and commit to sharing your progress.
