OPERATING FUNDS
It's difficult to receive, sort, and give away donated, quality-of-life necessities
without a place to do it from. Yet raising funds for operating expenses is
the hardest and most time-consuming part of sustaining and growing an
organization that relies on human kindness, compassion, and generosity to exist.
“[B]illion-dollar mega-gifts from wealthy individuals generate headlines that suggest all is well, [when] in fact large institutions continue to amass resources while nonprofits serving communities in need are barely getting by.”
