Support takes many forms. The combination of personal and professional assets and community support is vital to the sustainability of this work. Respondents cited their own strong skill set (43%), spiritual practice (42%), and support network (42%) as their key motivating factors. Fewer than 1/5th of respondents linked financial support to sustainability, suggesting that while financial support is important, it is not the sole factor contributing to an organization’s success. ‘Throwing money’ at the problem is fruitless without other supportive measures like awareness, development, and ongoing training. This underscores the importance of looking at support more holistically: Funders using this information should look into new measures to support these organizations. #NonprofitReport #Gratitude #closethegivinggap #Giving #StateofBlackNonprofitsReport
