When to keep earned revenue inside the charity and when to create a separate entity

 

Growing and mature charities and nonprofits are under pressure to expand customer revenue as grants and philanthropy get less predictable. The hard part is doing it without putting your charitable status, reputation, or core services at risk.

In this interactive online workshop, you’ll use a practical decision framework to assess earned-revenue ideas and decide when it’s smart to keep revenue inside the charity, and when a separate entity (subsidiary, nonprofit, or partnership) is worth the added complexity. You’ll work through real-world scenarios, compare common structure pathways, and leave with a board-ready tool you can apply immediately.

Format: 90-minute workshop + 30 minutes Q&A / networking (online)

You’ll leave with:

  • A Structure Decision Matrix (fillable template) to evaluate earned-revenue options against strategic fit, readiness, and risk
  • A clear set of “keep it inside vs. separate entity” decision triggers you can take to your CEO/board/CFO
  • A next-steps checklist: what you can decide internally now, and what questions to bring to legal/accounting.
