Dialog is where it beginsays with this stuff, so if there is anything positive to come from this, I hope it's some reflection and change at WWP, some candid dialog about The Overhead Myth, and a more informed public about how to conduct meaningful due diligence before making a charitable investment. <br /><br />Impact doesn't excuse bad decisions, lavish spending, or poor HR decisions.<br /><br />Here's a video I love that touches on these issues in a provocative way: https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_about_charity_is_dead_wrong?language=enAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497086135995262287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847709721411082040.post-85591531778886421752016-01-28T16:36:36.406-08:002016-01-28T16:36:36.406-08:00Any more, if the 'government' is involved ...Any more, if the 'government' is involved in a project, as this one certainly is, then there will be big trouble, lies, fraud, murder, deceit, you name it you got it/!

I know that their impact is amazing, but is there line that excuses them from over spending on stuff based on their impact? I worry that could end up being a good hiding hole that they can use and actually it seems as if that is what they are doing right now.

What I str...Couldn't agree more with your post. What I struggle with, though, is the amount of focus people give to the percentage of a charity's budget spent on overhead. Numbers aren't that simple. I've seen small charities with large percentages spent on "overhead" (if we want to make that term simplistic) and large charities with small percentages spent on "overhead." Just the simple size of an organization can skew the numbers for or against them. What's worse, though is that the media and public have put a ton of fear in charities about their numbers and percentages, to the point that some charities feel a need to bake the books, stretch the figures or re-classify them to be more attractive to the general public who doesn't understand the bigger picture. Just yesterday I had one of my charity clients say, "We can make the numbers say what we want." Some charities brag about having only 10% of the funding go toward admin and fundraising with 90% going to programs. What I want to know is whether those programs are well run, what the short-term and long-term impact is, and what type of leadership runs that organization and keeps its very own nonprofit employees out of the starvation cycle. Are its own employees making a living wage, or are they dependent on other social services because their nonprofit won't pay them what they're worth out of fear it will "skew" the numbers? Granted, I don't condone lavish expenditures. I also think we as a society need to ask the hard questions, not the surface ones like, "How much of your money goes to overhead?" I want to know what that overhead consists of and if there might be a reason for expenditures that appear lavish but perhaps made sense for whatever reason. I want to know the true cost of doing critically important work for the betterment of society. Maybe then all of us can have a real conversation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497086135995262287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847709721411082040.post-15809117628905643472016-01-14T16:04:00.319-08:002016-01-14T16:04:00.319-08:00Great story!!

I believe that women and men should earn the same wage for the same job, but PLEASE ... if you see me coming please hold the door for me and hold me chair for me ... It makes me see you as a real man and see myself as very feminine. Thank you from most of us.
