## Resource

Nonprofits don’t have an overhead problem, they have a narrative problem. When organizations obsess over keeping costs low, they often starve the very investments that drive growth, impact, and long-term sustainability. The truth is simple: low cost does not equal high impact. The organizations that truly move the needle are the ones willing to reframe overhead as strategic investment and communicate that clearly to donors, boards, and stakeholders.
