Description

What this module covers:
The full financial development picture for recreation services — from fee-for-service pricing and membership design through grant funding strategy and commercial partnership development.

Core topics:
– Fee and membership design: pricing recreation services for different participant segments without creating access barriers for the populations most dependent on affordable provision
– Grant funding strategy: identifying relevant funding sources, constructing fundable program proposals, and managing grant relationships and reporting requirements across multiple funding cycles
– Commercial partnership development: identifying aligned sponsors and community partners, structuring benefit packages, and managing relationships for long-term renewal rather than one-cycle transactions

Approx. hours: +/- 6

What shifts:
A diversified revenue approach built on deliberate strategy rather than funding dependency — with the pricing, grant, and partnership frameworks to sustain a recreation operation through budget cycles and funding shifts outside its direct control.
