Generating Income

To grow your organisation and run services you are going to need to consider how you generate income.  You can do this through:

• Fundraising in your community
• Applying for grants
• Bidding for contracts
• Trading with the public

Ideally you want to try to think about having a mix of funding streams.  We can help you to achieve this through supporting you in:

• Identifying and applying for funding
• Fundraising legally
• Claiming Gift Aid
• Running lotteries and raffles
• Identifying contract opportunities
• Submitting a tender
• Developing partnerships
• Registering for VAT
• Considering a "trading subsidiary" (a separate body that trades and passes profit to you)

For more detail about how we can help you generate income, see pages 13-15 of our services guide.
