I just watched an AWESOME Tedx talk from a fellow Aussie, and felt inspired to share it with you!

Juanita Wheeler, Managing Director of Full & Frank, a strategic consultant to non-profit organisations & social enterprises talks about the ‘overhead’ myth.

Have you heard of it?

This myth dictates that when donors (people like you and I) choose to give to a charity, then the best choices are always those organisations that don’t spend your precious donations on vital infrastructure, supporting passionate staff, engaging expert support or attracting strategic leaders.

Of course, this ‘metric’ or ‘mindset’ would never be accepted in the for-profit world – we all know that THEY need strategic leaders at the helm, competent staff, the ability to market and promote themselves.

Enough about what I have to say though, watch it for yourself and make up your own mind.

I do have one condition though… or perhaps a plea…

Please share this article far and wide throughout your networks using the hashtag #bustthecharityoverheadmyth to help ensure everyone understands the ‘unintended consequences’ associated with not challenging the imbalances that exist between the for-profit and non-profit world!

It’s time to empower non-profits GLOBALLY to be the best they can be, from the inside out!
