Conscious Business Canvas: Our Sustainable Revenues

C Cheri Public Seen by 421

The fuel that our business uses to help our customers and to grow more capacity and ultimately have more of a positive impact. It is important that we have an effective way to have sustainable revenue. What are our current sources of revenue? What are our secondary or other sources of revenue? If we are using investment capital, or favors such as free labor to fuel our growth currently, at what point do we become fully self sufficient and sustainable? What is your gross margin?

I agree with Cheri's comments/ideas.
Here is a 'blurb' way of saying all that. It borrows from the Enspiral collective model. If people think this is close enough - we can turn this into a proposal

UNITE WNC is a virtual and physical network of professionals and organizations brought together by a shared passion for growing “local” and sustaining quality of life through technology. Member contributions and revenue from network ventures fund our work via a transparent participatory budgeting process.
