Seconding this. However I do appreciate the chicken-and-egg problem donors have here as they can get tricked into throwing money at a non-sustainable project if it's not already on steady-enough-legs to cover the non-sexy things that need money to operate. They might not be able to tell how much follow-through the organization really has or if it's just all fluff that will waste a bunch of their donated funds if the project goes under prematurely. But it's so frustrating to get a non-profit started and need funds to move forwards with the mission but donors don't want to fund the critical stuff like utilities. But hey, they still "love your mission". I also appreciate they usually want to make single donations rather than letting an organization get hooked on a steady stream of donations, it helps keep the org from getting stagnate. And segregating restricted and non-restricted funds is an extra chore on the already taxed treasurer has to look forward too.
