Funding is often one of the primary reasons that existing grassroots organizations are unable to build long-lasting programs and sustainable organizations.
Adequate funding minimizes these common obstacles to achieving measurable impact:
having long periods of inactivity
wasting time re-training volunteers to complete critical tasks (such as bookkeeping, marketing, community engagement, fundraising, etc.)
developing a campaign or initiative for a limited period of time rather than continuing the work to grow it’s reach and impact
not being able to reach a large number of people
not being taken seriously by other community stakeholders or donors
not able to keep good, passionate people due to low moral measurable impact
lack of ideal skills for the roles
