Unrestricted funding really is the best! Now, I can't remember who suggested I read this report, but it's a must-read for everyone in the sector (and tag your funders). A study of large unrestricted grants from McKenzie Scott to charities in the US found: 1. The charities invested in their own organisational effectiveness and development - highlighting how traditional, project-based grant giving deprives charities of this kind of support. 2. Lifted leaders out of burnout and towards an 'abundance mindset'. It also increased the diversity of CEOs across the charities concerned. 3. Without externally-imposed frameworks, leaders established their own plans for spending the funds - there was no rush to spend or irresponsibility. Instead, plans were informed by sector expertise. Great to see this research back up what we all know to be true. https://lnkd.in/efNwRDVn

Did you know there are organizations and people in need that are close to home? 🏡 Giving back isn’t just about large-scale efforts. Sometimes, the most impactful acts of kindness happen right in your own backyard – and they don’t require you to give cash. From volunteering your time and skills to donating your unused items, you can make a significant impact.

The super benefits of unrestricted funding-This is spot on!!! For charity and non-profit leaders there is constant burn out and stress from having to produce and retrofit projects for small amounts of reserved funds. Often those projects steer you away from your core operations and stifle growth. The constant need to restructure your work to accommodate the requirement of funders is a drain on time, energy, resources. On the flip side if funders were more prepared to trust organisations (particularly smaller ones and those from the black and brown communities) with large unrestricted funding imagine all the good we could be doing. Focusing on the areas we work in best, creating the teams that we need and embedding a sustainable foundation for growth. Don’t just take my word for it, please read the report. Thank you so much Felicia Willow for sharing. If any funders would like to discuss any of the points raised in my post or the report with me or other community leaders I know pls send me a message! Change is required but you need to understand how it impacts charity and community leaders before adapting that change.
