“I believe organizations should have a philosophy of fundraising. They should answer the question, ‘What sources of funding will most help us fulfill our mission?’ Your sources of money are your sources of accountability. Who are you answerable to? Who rightly thinks they can influence the direction your organization goes in? There are organizations that should be entirely or mostly funded by government and those that should be entirely or mostly funded by corporations or foundations. Those organizations would be accountable to those entities. Organizations that work for justice for all people needed to be funded by those people.” — Kim Klein
