innovative funding models for congregations?

I belong to a United Church congregation that is trying to "do church" in a new way. One of the challenges is finding a better model to fund this new way of doing church. The traditional model of trying to pay for our admin and programming with congregational givings, while relying heavily on volunteer labour, isn't working so well for us. We're also aware that we can't pull too much of our income from rentals etc vs. donations without jeopardizing our charitable status under CRA regulations.

HRDC Announces Accessibility Funding

I see the Feds are offering up to $50,000 per project for accessibility. Timeline is tight, so your project better be "shovel ready".

Crumbling Infrastructure

(I originally posted this in the Politics forum, but it hasn't stimulated any response, so a blog it becomes!)

 

As some of you might know, my significant other is from Barcelona, Spain.  I have been very lucky to visit the city many times, and each time I am amazed by its public transit.  Many people don't own cars.  It's one euro for a metro/bus fare, flat - no zoning like London or Madrid.  One euro makes TTC's 2.75 look exorbitant.
