I assume that by “cash-flow positive”, you mean supported by fees from workshop participants?
Yes, that’s roughly what I mean.
I’m gesturing towards “getting to a business structure where it’s straightforward to go into survival mode, wherein CFAR maintains core staff & operations via workshop fees.”
Seems like in that configuration, the org wouldn’t be as buffeted by the travails of a 6-month or 12-month fundraising cycle.
I agree that being entirely supported by workshop fees wouldn’t be a desirable goal-state for CFAR. But having a “survival mode” option at the ready for contingencies seems good.
