Successful Do-Gooding

Yes, yes, of course you mean well.

But how many feel that accusing nonprofits of wasting energy and money by not solving a problem is somehow a slam against the hungry, homeless, vulnerable, abused, ignored and/or persecuted you serve?

If you’re immune to criticism because you’re ‘doing good’ then you won’t be ‘doing good’ much longer.

And get over yourselves - you’re not hungry, homeless, vulnerable, abused, ignored and/or persecuted - the people you serve are.

Is it even possible to be successful in your mission?

What would success look like?

And would you be out of a job?

And wouldn't that be a good thing... or what every other person in the world would call success?!
