This episode features Rodney Christopher from BDO, and is the first installment of our special series, Smashing the Overhead Myth – Once and For All! With 30 years of consulting and grantmaking experience in the nonprofit and philanthropic community, Rodney was instrumental in facilitating the Funders for Real Costs, Real Change, a learning collaborative among a dozen funders who sought to better understand how they could do their part to end the nonprofit starvation cycle. In this episode, we hear that story. These funders examined the realities of overhead and indirect costs in their grants and grantee organizations – and some are making major changes as a result.
