“I think funders and nonprofits need to work more effectively together by trusting one another more,” says Vu Le, former Executive Director of Rainier Valley Corps and author of the irreverent and indispensable blog Nonprofit AF. “Many of the things we’ve been used to are archaic and ineffective—this treating of nonprofits as freeloaders instead of equal partners.
