Why CSR and other grant-makers need to provide more 'good' overheads to NGOs To solve societys most pressing problems, we need strong, mission-driven organisations that can deliver results that matter. Unfortunately, funding practices widely used by governments, foundations, and corporations, including CSR grantmakers, undermine the development of successful nonprofits. Funders typically support programs, but they scrimp on overhead. This practice gives rise to a vexing starvation cycle that constrains nonprofits ability to invest in essential organisational infrastructure and creates tensions, and even dishonesty, between grant makers and grantees.
