Change the language. Nonprofits should consider the language they use to describe traditional “overhead” terms, which can be renamed to be more descriptive of their function as well as specifically describe how these components contribute to mission to connect the dots for funders.

I often think museums are like church--passionately loved by staff and devout audiences, irrelevant or off-putting to lapsed or uninterested adults, alien and overwhelming to newcomers. Content in non-majority languages, strollers, and other affordances help too. Help people understand why you do what you do. What do you think?
