Grant and Funding

Message

A comic illustrating the irony of needing funding while being told passion isn't enough.

Panel 1

Alex: “We need support to grow. Even a little helps.”

Panel 2

Donor: “We only fund organizations that are already stable and fully staffed.”

Panel 3

Alex blinks slowly.

Alex: "…So you want me to come back when I already have other funding?"

Panel 4 (punchline: bitter sarcasm)

Donor (cheerful):

“Exactly! Love your passion though.”
