Brokering – A revenue generating activity?
Brokering could be considered a fund-raising activity. A non-profit organization (NPO) is able to provide services as long as it meets the goals, or is in service of the goals of the organization.A concern would be if the service was so successful that it created substantial surpluses. This could be a concern for funding sources. Ideally, once the Broker Service is generating enough revenue to justify additional staff it becomes self-sustaining (i.e., covers its own costs and expansion).
