sustainable, ongoing funding the kind that doesn't rely on constant event or one-off donations.

Eric Cuthbert Owner at Food Lottery CIC Posted 2 months ago

Hi everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how tough it is for charities and CICs to create sustainable, ongoing funding—especially the kind that doesn't rely on constant events, raffles, or one-off donations.
I’d really love to open up a discussion with anyone who’s ever thought:
“There must be a better way to bring in regular monthly funds—ideally with zero cost upfront.”
I’ve been exploring an approach that could potentially help charities and CICs create a monthly income stream they can use however they see fit—no strings attached. But before I say more, I’d really like to know:
  • Has anyone here tried to set up a recurring income stream outside of traditional fundraising?
  • What’s worked (or not worked) for you?
  • Would you be interested in a model that doesn’t require upfront money or ongoing admin?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! I’d love to learn from your experiences and share some ideas too.
Warm wishes,
Eric
