Openness drives mission. Social change organizations that operate transparently build trust with their stakeholders, which helps advance their mission. People we trust are more honest, modest, forthcoming, and willing to
discuss difficult topics, including their own mistakes and shortcomings.

““It’s important to distinguish between strategic
communication and PR. Some communication really can advance a cause and some is more
focused on recognition. Foundations are often not very good at being honest about the
difference.”
