Description

Nonprofits often face a silent crisis: they can’t fund the very infrastructure that keeps their mission alive. While donors love to support visible programs, few realize that unrestricted gifts – the ones that cover salaries, compliance, and basic operations – are what make real impact possible. When organizations underfund their “overhead,” they enter a starvation cycle that weakens long-term sustainability. By reframing unrestricted giving as mission fuel, nonprofits can help donors see that trust, not just passion, drives meaningful change. Restricted gifts show commitment. Unrestricted gifts show belief in leadership.
