“The best philanthropy is clearheaded and hard-nosed...
This is about results, not about good intentions.”
Non-Profit Challenges
Our
research shows that only 52 percent of nonprofit leaders believe that their
foundation funders are aware of the challenges their organizations are facing.
Only 36 percent think funders share the knowledge they have about what other
nonprofits are doing to address similar challenges. And less than 33 percent
believe foundation funders use their various resources to help nonprofits with
their challenges. These findings are not about nonprofits asking for bigger
grants—they are about nonprofits wanting foundations to think more holistically
about the resources at their disposal.
