A new website offering information and advice on funding and financing options for voluntary and community organisations has been launched by the NCVO’s Sustainable Funding Project (SFP).

The site offers information on a number of different income sources from funding and loan finance to earning income by selling goods and services or delivering public services under contract. The site also provides advice on strategic planning, and features publications, newsletters and case studies.

The SFP exists to encourage and enable organisations to explore a full range of funding options to develop a sustainable funding mix. Commenting on the new site, the SFP’s Sarah Flood, said: “Too often ‘sustainable funding’ is seen as a question of simply getting better at fundraising or locating one ever-lasting source of income. Our new site offers ideas, information and sources of practical support for organisations wanting to broaden their income base and explore sustainable funding.”
