Voluntary and community organisations need to take action and diversify their income,
according to the Sustainable Funding Project.
The Project, based at the NCVO, is
launching phase three of its programme which will seek to enable organisations to
understand sustainable funding as a process with a paricular focus on helping organisations
think about ways to generate funds by earning income through contractual work and
trading goods and services.

Over the last six years, the SFP has raised awareness of the benefits of developing
a sustainable funding mix. Phase three will offer: workshops across England; specifically
designed tools and information to build capacity and capability of infrastructure
agencies; a newsletter to alert people to issues and opportunities; and the Only
Connect scheme, a small bursary sponsored by Triodos Bank which enables voluntary
and community organisations to visit and learn from others with a proven track record
in generating income from trading goods and services.

The project will be structured on a national and regional basis with 15 key infrastructure
agencies acting as ‘sustainable champions’ to provide support and cascade messages
and tools on sustainability at local and regional level.
