What do you think the percentages of nonprofits in this country that are actually really, truly doing a good job? I want to qualify that by saying when you're doing a good job, it's meeting the mission, like succeeding.
One thing that you're talking about is nonprofits, smaller organizations especially, are not necessarily well managed because they have executive directors that come from the program side.
So someone that like was a volunteer and then they were like the volunteer coordinator and then they might have been the marketing person and then the E.D., But they don't necessarily have management experience to manage people.
That a lot of nonprofits right now are really doing the best that they can with the limited resources they have.
And I want to say, well, but there's already one that's just down the street.
Like, why don't you collaborate with them? Or I see a lot of mission drift where it's like, my organization is healthcare, but now we're going to all of a sudden go into mental health.
Why don't you just collaborate with somebody else that's already doing that? I really...
wish that nonprofits would not be so siloed themselves and not ask for help and not look around at what they're doing.
I see a lot of hope and generosity and people just really trying to do good work.
But I do see is constant demands on like, do more with less or We have twice the demand for our services, but we had to fire staff because gas costs, you know, 450 a gallon and we have to power the van and we have to do this.
I see a lot of people trying to do great work, but they're maybe not managing the work as effectively.
