Journey To Impact

068: Building Sustainability - Allison Karnes

Allison Karnes returns in this episode to discuss the need for sustainability in an organization. She is the founder of WRAPS, which you can learn about in Episode 67. Because WRAPS gives away a lot its products to those in need, she chose to produce and sell other goods and run a cafe to create additional streams of revenue to run the ministry rather than allowing it to be solely dependent on donations.  Show LinksEd Gillentine:EdGillentine.comInstagram: @journey.to.impactWRAPS:FacebookDonate to WRAPS:Global OutreachThe Forsaken ChildrenBooks:Journey To Impact by Ed GillentineBuilt to Last by Jim CollinsGood to Great and the Social Sectors by Jim Collins
