Powerful political art from the @Grantsmanship Center News four decades ago (and relevant to today, see the secondary hed on upper left):

Perhaps it’s time for your nonprofit to speak out about what’s going on upriver and align yourself with other organizations trying to mitigate or eliminate the problem, not only respond to it. tgci.com/blog/2023/10/p…

In addition to doing the work, your nonprofit has learned about the causes of the problems. You reflect on the words of Desmond Tutu: “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in.”

Across the country, thousands of nonprofits have been hard at work for many years, delivering life-saving social and human services to millions of people. Your organization is one such.
