Challenge 1: Competition for Limited Funding
Most nonprofit organizations are competing for a small pool of donor funding, grants, and corporate sponsorships. As Sargeant and George (2014) report, not only can the “grant life cycle” (e.g., Figure 1) extend over an entire year from the bid submission, but a grantor will only award one grant per applicant per year. Therefore, it is not realistic to entirely rely on grants as a sole source of income for any organization. Diverse funding plans and financial backing to protect the company are the safest approach.

Appe and Telch (2019) applied comparative interpretive policy analysis to three (3) specific low-income countries - Haiti, South Sudan (Africa), and Nepal regarding the influx in nonprofit (NPO/NGO) entity formations and the differences between international non-governmental organizations (INGO) and GINGOs (grassroots INGO) by combining interpretive policy analysis (IPA) with comparative public policy to decipher systemic guidelines effectiveness.
