Limitations of Government Funding• Pursues their mission, not ours. Though they may be aligned,

they aren’t the same.

• Government focuses resources on the lowest income families; we aim to be a resource for everybody.

• Government funds vulnerable to cuts, changes in administration, shifting priorities.

• Overhead allocation rules are inflexible and difficult to manage.

• No funding for increases in cost of doing business.

• Doesn’t pay for advocacy, fundraising, capacity for future program development.
