Pros
WhyHunger's has gone through a lot of soul searching and reorganization over the past few years. Staff has pulled together fiercely and support each other - and it's refreshing to see this. This happened under very steady, transparent leadership of its current executive director. I see below that Bill Ayres is still listed as ED. He hasn't had that role for several years. The current ED is Noreen Springstead. And she is terrific. I was second of the most senior staff (37 years) at the time of my departure. I am moving on to a new chapter - and have nothing but gratitude for the support I received from staff and board as I pursued my dream career. I am so proud of WhyHunger's work and of my contribution to it.
Kontras
Like many not-for-profits, funding work takes a lot of work and the fundraising staff could benefit from a strong support staff. Funding has diversified from being primarily dependent on 1-2 special events / campaigns ... but funding is still challenging. The work, however makes the struggle very worthwhile.
