NONPROFIT STARVATION CYCLEFULL COST IS A CRITIAL ISSUE FOR MANY NONPROFITS TO THINK ABOUT
“The burden of breaking the cycle of nonprofit starvation does not rest solely with funders. Nonprofit leaders also play a role. As a baseline task, they should commit to understanding their real overhead costs and their real infrastructure needs. At LGON, for instance, senior managers spent several months digging into their costs, analyzing their current systems—including the organization’s subpar tracking process—and identifying gaps in capacity. After this strategic planning process, the organization could articulate a clear plan for a new tracking system and a 150% increase in non-program staff over three years.”
