Understanding the Problem:

There are real ‘missing costs’ arising from the nonprofit starvation cycle. These come in the form of systemic under-resourcing of core organizational functions.

Breaking the cycle:

This underinvestment will persist until funders recognize the importance of breaking the nonprofit starvation cycle to enable civil society organizations and social movements to fulfill their full potential.

The Nonprofit Starvation Cycle’s true impact:

 

2/3

2/3rds of largest US foundations cap indirect costs at less than 20%

> 3/4

Less than 3/4 of giving is project-restricted

> 1/4

Less than 1/4 of giving is multi-year flexible funding
