For too long, NGOs have been trapped in?the ???????????????????? ??????????, forced to operate on #restrictedfunding that doesn’t cover their full costs. Now, as thousands of organizations face financial collapse, it’s time to ask: ?Why has philanthropy continued to replicate these restrictive funding models? ?What instability has it created within #civilsociety? ?And how do we finally break free from a system that isn’t built for long-term sustainability? In this must-read article, Carola Carazzone?challenges philanthropy to?rethink its approach, citing Humentum’s????????????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ???????????report as key evidence that?this moment ?????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?? ????????????????—???? ?????????????? ?? ?????????? ???? ??????????. ?? We released this report a few years ago, and it’s more timely than ever. The findings remain urgent: ?? Most donor funding doesn’t cover the full cost of running an NGO, leaving organizations financially fragile. ?? The reliance on short-term project funding forces organizations to cut critical operating costs. ?? Without a shift toward real #costrecovery, NGOs will remain in survival mode instead of driving long-term impact. ?? Read Carazzone’s full piece for Alliance magazine:?https://bit.ly/3Dk8Vcq ??

?? “???? ????’?? ?????? ????????????????????, ???? ????????’?? ????????????.” That was one of the biggest takeaways from our fireside chat on navigating USG suspensions and terminations, where legal and compliance experts Sabrina M. Segal JD MIP CFE, Shannon Meehan, and Cynthia S. broke down what you need to know right now about the evolving #USG funding landscape. ?????? ??????????????????: 1?? Documentation isn’t optional – The current legal climate makes it clear: if you don’t have records to back up your decisions and expenditures, you’re at risk. Keep detailed, organized records, always. 2?? Don’t wait to act – With increasing oversight, organizations need to proactively strengthen internal #compliance to avoid major disruptions. Audits and investigations are becoming more rigorous, so make sure you’re prepared. 3?? Know your rights – USG terminations and suspensions aren’t always final. Understanding what’s negotiable and what’s not can make all the difference in protecting your funding and operations. A huge thank you to our panelists for sharing their insights and experience.
