“Organizations that are created specifically to help nonprofits thrive tend to have trouble surviving financially themselves, according to a new study ([link removed]) [by the Urban Institute] that suggests a lack of resources is eroding the quality of services these groups provide. … From 2014 to 2019, the median annual operating margin for infrastructure groups was close to zero.”[ ([link removed]) more ([link removed]) ] ([link removed])
The Chronicle of Philanthropy

Johanna Mair, Josefa Kindt, and Sébastien Mena, Hertie School, for Stanford Social Innovation Review

“People with disabilities experience poverty at twice the rate of nondisabled people. ... Not surprisingly, these statistics become even more stark when incorporating race, gender, and 2LGBTQIAP identities.

Rebecca Cokley, Ford Foundation, for The Nation

“To address a history of racial capitalism, nonprofits need to engage community members who have been most impacted by that legacy and respond to their wishes. The outcomes are meaningful to the community served, while still driving economic growth in ways tailored to its needs.” [more] ([link removed])
Nikki Foster, Jen Rachio, and John Fetzer, Northwest Area Foundation
