Third sector looks for new income sources to supplement givingA drop in public giving and the end of Objective 1 funding has forced Wales’s 30,000 third sector organisations to increasingly seek help from the public sector, a survey has revealed.
A detailed analysis of the way Wales’s third sector is funded has revealed that the availability of fewer resources has led organisations to diversify their income base. Giving is no longer the main source of income – that has switched to the public sector. And earned income has been steadily increasing, along with income from trusts and Lottery funding.
‘It’s clear that the third sector in Wales is accessing diverse income streams, but this is also something that individual organisations should be addressing’ said WCVA Funding Advice Officer Sara Carroll.
- Sustainable Funding Cymru delivers a comprehensive training, advice and information programme that equips organisations with the skills and information to secure and maintain the resources they require in the long-term through diversifying their ‘funding mix’.
