In an era where the quest for funding can feel akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, the nonprofit sector finds itself confronting an ironic dilemma: the ‘Paradox of Plenty.’ As the name implies, this phenomenon arises not from a scarcity of resources, but from an overwhelming abundance of government grant opportunities. With a myriad of potential pathways to funding, nonprofit professionals often fall prey to analysis paralysis—a state of overthinking that hinders the decision-making process.
