About this event

Andy Robinson, National Trainer & Consultant

Thanks to the generous support of Kaiser Permanente and their commitment to making community nonprofit organizations stronger, there will be no cost to attend this workshop.

Hundreds of nonprofits across North America are developing and selling goods and services that support and extend their missions. In doing so, they are discovering new strategies for educating their communities, activating their constituents, and expanding their budgets. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at several successful examples and teach you how to think—and behave— like a nonprofit entrepreneur. We will explore:

• The pros and cons of earned income strategies
• Role models: Grassroots groups with successful sales programs
• Assessing your organization: Are you ready to go into business?
• Testing out your earned income ideas with peers
