Earned Income Plan
Project details
What we need
- Assessment and recommendations for income-generating activities that will complement the Organization's current mission and existing programs
- Actionable steps necessary to implement recommendations, alongside estimates of upfront time and monetary investment required
- Challenges and potential risks identified in pursuing the plan
What we have in place
- To get you started, we have identified four products and services to be assessed: online training courses, a business membership program, a fiscal sponsorship program, and video distribution to educational institutions. We have three years of financial information for existing services, as well as some user data. We have also identified existing models currently in the marketplace
How this will help
This project will save us $11,794 , allowing us to create at least 1 or more earned income streams that will diversify our funding portfolio.
Today’s non-profits must have diverse income streams; A robust mix of fundraised, donated and earned income. Without a diverse portfolio the decision of one funder to stop funding an organization, could result in the elimination of a vital program service or the loss of a valuable employee. NBPC seeks to increase the amount of earned income generated to strengthen the diversity of its portfolio. We have existing products and services with growth potential, but we need your help to assess their viability to generate a higher and sustainable flow of income for the organization.

Our mission
The National Black Programming Consortium is committed to a fully realized expression of democracy. We support diverse voices by developing, producing and distributing innovative media about the Black experience and by investing in visionary content makers.
What we do
Since 1991, NBPC has invested more than $12 million dollars in iconic documentary content for public media broadcast and distributed hundreds of hours of historical, cultural and socially relevant content to PBS and community audiences. We have funded digital media content made exclusively for the web since 2006. NBPC’s professional development programs provide thousands of producers of color with resources and information needed to contend in an increasingly competitive industry. NBPC is the Executive Producer of the public television series "AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange", an anthology series featuring independent documentaries about the contemporary global black experience, now entering its eighth season.
