2. A detailed plan should be formulated for producing whatever income is required. Some of the sources of financing open to various kinds of organizations are as follows:
a) Charges to participants. In organized classes, this is usually a tuition fee. In lecture series and forms, it may be either free-will offerings or admission fees. In clubs and ongoing groups, it may be membership dues or special assessments.
b) Appropriations from the general finds of an organization. When the educational program is a part of a larger organization, such as a social agency, church, women’s club, and the like, a share of its total income may be set aside for the educational program.
c) Contributions from outside sources. Many organizations that do not limit their services to their own members may go directly to the community for support. This support may be from the United Way if the organization is eligible, or from foundations, or from individual contributions. A most common practice is to conduct a campaign for private contributions.
