core funding models

Core funding models refer to the primary ways organizations secure financial support to operate. They typically include government grants, which are funds provided by public authorities, and donations or grants from private entities like foundations or corporations. Some organizations receive revenue from services or products they provide, known as earned income. Others may rely on memberships, subscriptions, or endowments—funds invested to generate ongoing income. These models can be combined or tailored based on organizational needs, ensuring stability and capacity to deliver their missions over the long term.
