that most nonprofits
are eleemosynary
is unfortunate

There is a common complaint amongst nonprofits that there are only so many pieces of the [donor] pie to go around. Well guess what?

You. Can. Bake. More. Pies.

Don't get caught in scarcity thinking! Get creative. While more than happy to accept donations, we at A2V are creating ways to generate our own funds, writing grants, spinning off for-profit entities that help support our cause.

DEFINITION of this 6-syllable adjective:

of or relating to alms, charity, or charitable donations; charitable.
derived from or provided by charity.
dependent on or supported by charity: an eleemosynary educational institution.
