Short Stuff: Busting the Overhead Myth

In our charity world, ‘overheads’ is a blanket term for any expenses a non-profit has, that aren’t program costs. 

In this episode of Short Stuff, Bianca shares why there's often too much emphasis on the issue of overhead expenses, why it's a mistake to use it to measure a charity's efficiency, what non-profits can do to educate donors.The study mentioned in this episode can be found here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345485033_Is_Overhead_A_Tainted_Word_A_Survey_Experiment_Exploring_Framing_Effects_of_Nonprofit_Overhead_on_Donor_Decision
