Desperately missing from the article is the restrictions funders place on overhead, including wages. Non-profits are notorious for paying wages so low that many of their employees qualify for the services they provide. It is next to impossible to pay student loans for degrees often required by many positions. Funders need to expand funding for wages. There is no amount of wellness program services that can take away being stressed about making rent, paying for bills, wondering if healthcare is accessible, etc.
