So many grants do not cover core costs, so it is tempting to plan work around available funding, rather than develop in a strategic way. There’s a common thread with organisations like ours; you have a fantastic idea about doing something for the greater good, but it’s hard to keep energised and innovative when you’re also managing all the day-to-day activity.
sankalpa has linked us to fantastic people and has taken a lot of weight off of our shoulders. By funding staffing costs, sankalpa has given us the time to do things the right way — to drive HBCA forward in the field as opposed to shoehorning ourselves into the sector.
