They described a dynamic in which a nonprofit that benefits tremendously from its connection with its wealthy neighbor tolerated major logistical nuisances to the detriment of its staff and clients. And they described a relationship that seemed to prioritize optics over a thoughtful approach to philanthropic giving—resulting, in other words, in the kind of pains that an entity as wealthy as Amazon could easily afford to fix.
Suck it up. That is exactly the relationship most non profits have with government and NGO grants. You adapt and keep the mission in mind. Is it frustrating? Hell yes, but at the end of the day you have people to help. I admit to visiting a bar after every government site visit and some of directives failed the logic test so badly I screamed at the sky, but you persevere or get out.
