Tagline: Since 1954. Possibly the worst nonprofit tagline. I know why this is the tagline of choice for so many nonprofits.

By Dyani Leal. “Maybe we should dissolve.” In July, after over a decade of operation in Nicaragua (and an unwavering commitment to the organization I founded), I found myself uttering this unthinkable phrase at a board meeting. In an already unstable economic climate, the ground beneath our organization had crumbled beneath us. As the Nicaraguan government tightened its grip on authoritarian rule, it was threatened by civil society organizations who possess the power to hold them acc
