Volunteer: Strategic Framework Comparing Nonprofit vs. Hybrid Business Revenue Models

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections. We're welcoming the advice of a knowledgeable strategist fluent in business development for non-profit and hybrid organizations. The volunteer will develop a Strategic Framework Report: A document comparing 2-3 business models (like a hybrid LLC/Nonprofit vs. a pure nonprofit revenue model) to help us choose your path. I want to explore what the best framework for our organization is in this early stage of development to inform our a core development strategy through fundraising and earned revenue. Note: at this time, we are operating as a fiscally sponsored project. This is key to ensuring our organization's success in the near and long-term. We'll schedule calls to dive deeper into the information. Climate House US ("Climate House") Mission: Climate House is a creative think tank using the arts to illustrate actionable pathways forward—and bring them to life. Our Mythos Embodied Climate: Climate change is not the abstract, technical issue it’s often framed to be–but a universal, ambient one experienced through our bodies and daily lives. CH communicates using universal sensory language, to reintegrate our understanding of climate change as real in the felt sense, and as a core defining issue shaping everything around us. Universal Sensory Language: By speaking this universal language of the senses, we can communicate in a language everyone speaks and understands. This helps reframe climate as an everyone issue–providing an opportunity for the general public to reclaim their agency in understanding it and engaging with its solutions creatively, collaboratively, and meaningfully. Culture-First: Culture is the fabric of daily life. CH uses a broad suite of cultural tools to meet people where they are, designing programming that is audience-tailored and culture-first, recognizing this as the carrier oil for engaging with more complex topics. Show-not-tell: Because seeing is believing, we design programs that show, not tell. All of our programs are seared with a blueprint, grounding solutions on the experiential plane, allowing our audience to feel solutions that are so actionable, they can taste them. Apply To This Job
