Reframe Overhead’s Post

Why are overhead costs such a hot topic? Well, let’s break it down for you… Without adequate overheads, we get a “non-profit starvation cycle” where charities don’t have enough funds to sustain their work – reducing their ability to create social change. Part of this is because NFPs are afraid to speak to the need for overhead. 🙊 ❗But our research points out that donors WANT to know about the outcomes of their investments ❗ 📊 They want to see a detailed breakdown of substantiated costs 📊 💸 They want to know the impact of fundraising and the return for beneficiaries 💸 This video shares why discussing overhead costs is important, but also gives tangible examples of how organisations can begin to shift their narrative. 1️⃣ Instead of talking about “administration”, speak about accountability and investment. 2️⃣ Instead of “capacity building”, share your effectiveness and impact. 3️⃣ Instead of visuals that show “helping people” vs “overheads”... break things down further and give donors the detail they crave. ♻ Share this video with your team or maybe even send it to a friend who approaches charity with just a little too much cynicism! ♻ And if you haven't signed up yet, join over 500 fundraisers from over 200 organisations that have committed to reframe overheads (link in comments)

Such a scenario would be absurd, but this is precisely the dilemma many charities face today." Such a good intro to this article and captures the point brilliantly. https://lnkd.in/e7FVjdPe
