“Overhead.” The dirtiest word in nonprofit funding?
This comic spotlights the invisible tax nonprofits pay every time they dare to budget honestly.
Somehow, asking to fund rent, electricity, software, salaries, evaluation — or, gasp, operations — has become a punishable offense.
Cue the swear jar. 💸
And yet: how can we build sustainable impact without investing in the structure that holds it up?
We don’t need to be scrappy. We need to be supported. And maybe… we need a bigger jar.
