1 Define your purpose and scope

The first step is to clarify what you want to accomplish with your philanthropy and how you want to measure your success. What is your mission, vision, and values? What are the specific problems or needs you want to address? Who are your target beneficiaries and stakeholders? How will you evaluate your impact and learn from your results? These questions will help you define your purpose and scope, which will guide your funding decisions.

With regard to a revenue model, the key variable is to know whether you're seeking a one-time infusion for single purpose or you're seeking to establish a sustainable, growing stream of philanthropic revenue. Once you've determined this, you're ready to look at various approaches.

2 Assess your resources and constraints

The next step is to assess what resources and constraints you have for your philanthropy. How much money do you have available and how flexible is it? How much time and expertise do you have or need? How much risk are you willing to take and how tolerant are you of failure? How much control do you want to have over your funds and activities? These questions will help you assess your resources and constraints, which will influence your funding options.

3 Explore different funding models

The third step is to explore different funding models that match your purpose, scope, resources, and constraints. There are many ways to fund your philanthropic cause, such as grants, donations, sponsorships, loans, equity, prizes, challenges, crowdfunding, social bonds, and more. Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your goals, preferences, and context. You can also combine different models or create your own hybrid model. The key is to find the model that best aligns with your values, vision, and impact.

Identifying the right funding model for your philanthropic cause involves exploring diverse options. Consider grants, donations, sponsorships, loans, equity, challenges, crowdfunding, and more. Each model has pros and cons based on your goals. Crafting a hybrid model is possible. Additionally, mix philanthropic dollars, private sector investments, and government funding for a well-rounded approach. Find what aligns with your values and maximizes impact. #Philanthropy #FundingModels"

Identifying the right funding model for your philanthropic cause: clarify the mission, assess funding models like donations, earned income, or impact investments. Diversify sources, consider financial sustainability, and engage stakeholders. Adapt and monitor continuously.

I'll assume for purposes here, want to build a philanthropic revenue stream for an ongoing nonprofit enterprise. To do so requires a comprehensive strategic model which is centered upon investments from individuals. Individuals, living and deceased, account for almost 90% of all philanthropic revenue. Independent foundations and corporate grants account for less than 10%. Your program should be rationally resourced to reflect these sources. A mistake that many, many nonprofits make is to focus on foundations and corporations. These funds are not only in lesser supply, they are generally not renewable and have greater restrictions placed on their use.

4 Research best practices and examples

The fourth step is to research best practices and examples of other philanthropists who have used similar or different funding models for their causes. You can learn from their successes and failures, their insights and lessons, their strategies and tactics, and their challenges and opportunities. You can also network with them and seek their advice or feedback. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the pros and cons of each model and how to apply them effectively.

Este es un punto clave que en ocasiones la operación hace que se le dedique poco tiempo, sin embargo, es de suma importancia el hacer un buen benchmark y empatizar con las causas para tener un resultado más objetivo y estratégico a la hora de tomar decisiones.

5 Test and refine your model

The fifth step is to test and refine your model before scaling it up. You can start with a pilot project or a small experiment to see how your model works in practice and how it affects your beneficiaries and stakeholders. You can collect data and feedback, analyze your results, and identify what works and what doesn't. You can also make adjustments and improvements based on your findings and learning. This will help you validate your model and optimize your impact.

6 Review and update your model

The final step is to review and update your model periodically as your philanthropic cause evolves and the external environment changes. You can monitor your performance and progress, evaluate your impact and outcomes, and compare your results with your expectations and goals. You can also scan the horizon for new trends, opportunities, and challenges that may affect your model and your cause. You can then adapt your model accordingly and keep it relevant and effective.

It depends on thematic areas of your work along with the size and fund requirements. It is also depends on what impacts you want to see... It is also depends on how much you are ready to sacrifice...

Por ultimo, a?adiría un buen sistema de gobernanza , comunicación y validación interna. En ocasiones, nos quedamos en estrategias, documentos, ideas y pasar a la acción cuesta. Al existir una buena comunicación y gobernanza, ayuda un montón para hacer que todo lo que se planeo, se ejecute.
