Source of funding for CBO?

Community-based organizations (CBOs) can receive funding from a variety of sources, including:

1. Government grants and contracts: CBOs may receive funding from local, state, or federal government agencies to support specific programs or services.

2. Foundations and philanthropic organizations: CBOs often seek funding from private foundations and philanthropic organizations that support their mission and goals.

3. Corporate sponsorships and donations: Some CBOs receive funding from businesses and corporations through sponsorships, donations, or partnerships.

4. Individual donations: CBOs may also rely on individual donors for financial support through fundraising campaigns, events, and membership fees.

5. Earned income: Some CBOs generate revenue through fee-for-service programs, social enterprises, or other income-generating activities.

6. In-kind donations: CBOs may receive donations of goods or services, such as office space, equipment, or volunteer support, which can help reduce operating costs.

7. Crowdfunding: CBOs may use online crowdfunding platforms to raise funds from a large number of individual donors for specific projects or initiatives.

Overall, CBOs often rely on a combination of these funding sources to support their operations and programs.

- Federal Appropriations: The majority of CBO's funding comes from annual appropriations from the U.S. Congress. These appropriations are authorized by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which created the CBO.
- Non-Federal Sources: CBO also receives funding from non-federal sources, such as foundations, corporations, and individuals. These funds are typically used to support research and analysis that is not funded by the federal government.
