I can give you a rundown on a center for disability located at local university. Before covid they directly coordinated and provided services to near 200 individuals and their families. Now they serve zero. They fired both the people who provided those direct services and now the whole center just writes papers on people they no longer serve in order to secure more funding.
Even after ending my connection with that center, the places that still offer services have shifted to more paper writing instead of more ‘boots on the ground’ work. You can’t show off boots on the ground work to academia grant funders. So now they’re a paper writing company that provides services so they can write about something. Id wager most non profits spend more than most of their time fishing for grants instead of following their mission.
That’s a little different than here where they have 90% of money going to their own fundraising. Non-profits often have dedicated grant writers. It sounds like you’re trying to smear all non-profits based on the actions of a few, which is pretty absurd. I’ve worked at multiple non-profits in my life, partnered with even more, and never encountered anything as shitty as this article describes.
This seems like the natural extension of Telemarketers
