Yet these coveted grants are often reimbursement-based awards that require organizations to foot the bill for their activities upfront. Here's how funders can unlock government dollars for more grassroots orgs, as well as concrete steps nonprofits can take to prepare.

We urge you to contact Maine’s federal delegation and voice your opposition to H.R. 9495, specifically Section 4, which grants broad and unchecked authority to label nonprofits as 'terrorist-supporting'. Here are some key points you can share with the Maine delegation: 🔷 Lack of Transparency: H.R.9495 gives the Treasury Secretary excessive authority to label nonprofits as "terrorist-supporting" without requiring evidence disclosure, risking arbitrary decisions. 🔷 Due Process Concerns: The bill undermines constitutional protections by forcing nonprofits to prove their innocence within just 90 days. 🔷 Harm to the Sector: A false designation can irreparably damage an organization's reputation, disrupt operations, and erode public trust. 🔷 Threat to Humanitarian Aid: The bill could penalize nonprofits delivering life-saving aid in conflict zones, discouraging vital work. 🔷 Redundant Regulations: Existing laws already address material support to terrorism, making these provisions unnecessary and overly burdensome. We've heard that this will be up for a vote today or tomorrow. It is important that we all use our voices and power to advocate for the protection of our sector and advance equity.

Another informative piece! Always fun to work with Tivoni Devor and Ryan Ulbrich, and I learned a lot on this one.

But did you know those awards can be incredibly burdensome for recipient organizations to accept? Check out the quick blog below for specific strategies nonprofits can use to prepare for this windfall opportunity, as well as ways funders can step in to help.

When the goal is to solve most problems in a country through nonprofits, that country will always remain poor, even after you succeed at the goal. That's because people in the country will not have the opportunity to own a slice of the enterprises that solve those problems. #thinkdifferently

Although it has a #usa perspective, a lot of the themes highlighted by Crappy Funding Practices will be familiar to us all in #scotland . My recent experience includes being asked to submit the following with an application: - signed Board approval (minutes of a scheduled meeting) for the application - last three bank statements - current management a/cs - governance documents - copies of four bids for all expenditure + all procurement documents - the application to be physically signed by a Board official - plus loads more ... My point? No need for any of this until an indicative decision to #fund is made. Once that indicative decision is made, #funders can undertake #duediligence. Just imagine all the time that is being wasted by the #funder trawling through dozens of copies of this stuff that they will never #fund. Just imagine the #charity staff hours wasted gathering this information when the majority won't get a bean. Just imagine the hours wasted by 3rd paries asked to submit quotes for projects that may never happen, or will be at least six months down the line due to the inevitable decision making delays. Ditch the needless #bureaucracy and leave due diligence until after in-principle decisions are made. https://lnkd.in/e2un2bvS
