I wonder what the breakdown is between “foundations” that provide grants to other nonprofits and actual nonprofit organizations that do have programs. I work at a nonprofit and I think you really have to examine individual nonprofits to see how their outcomes compare to their expenses and judge them on that basis. In aggregate there is too much lost detail to draw significant conclusions.
This is an advertisement for a “solution” but the “problem” as outlined is highly deceptive.
What library did you use to make that sankey ?
