From the creator

“Overhead.” The dirtiest word in nonprofit funding?

This comic spotlights the invisible tax nonprofits pay every time they dare to budget honestly.

Somehow, asking to fund rent, electricity, software, salaries, evaluation — or, gasp, operations — has become a punishable offense.

Cue the swear jar. 💸

And yet: how can we build sustainable impact without investing in the structure that holds it up?

We don’t need to be scrappy. We need to be supported. And maybe… we need a bigger jar.

Questions to consider

  1. Why is “overhead” treated like an indulgence instead of a necessity?
  2. What messages have we internalized about what is “worthy” of funding?
  3. What would change if we celebrated transparency instead of penalizing it?
  4. How can we build sustainable impact without investing in the structure that holds it up?
