An Open Letter to Community Foundations from a Concerned Executive Director - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Briefly

Nonprofit leaders are facing significant mental health challenges, exacerbated by the pressures of ongoing societal issues, including civil unrest and the pandemic. Many individuals in these roles are losing their connections to their communities while relying on medications for anxiety and depression. The nonprofit sector serves an essential role in filling gaps in public services, yet funding from philanthropic organizations often comes with burdensome requirements. A call for foundations to ease restrictions on their partners highlights the need for immediate support and understanding of the current crisis.
She’s reached her limit. Relying on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, she’s losing her grip and her connection to the community she loves and serves.
In nearly all areas of health and human services, nonprofits lead. This critical moment is no exception. Solutions we hope will find their way into our public policy are born and created in the nonprofit sector.
Foundations: You recognize what we’re up against and what we’re solving for. You see first-hand the critical support services we offer.
I’m leaning on the foundation community to release your nonprofit partners from the tight grip of applications, reporting, marketing requests.
