Finding nonprofits to help in a meaningful way has…

On my channel, I talk a lot about how sometimes I'm just looking for something meaningful to get tangled up in. And it doesn't mean that I'm not happy. It doesn't mean that I'm listless. It just means that I do think most people are rewarded by contributing to something, having some purpose, for lack of a better word. And one of the real frustrations that I've had since I've been retired is how nonprofits work. And I'm sure there's nonprofits out there that are amazing, but I've reached out to three nonprofits since I've been retired and haven't even received a response from any of them. And it's sort of confirmed a bias I already had against nonprofits, and that's that they're poorly ran and they're a waste of my time. And if you know a nonprofit that doesn't have a business, then you're missing out on a lot of the benefits. And if you know a nonprofit that doesn't have a business, then you're missing out on a lot of the benefits. And if you know a nonprofit that doesn't have a business, then you're missing out on a lot of the benefits. And if you know a nonprofit that doesn't run that way, tell me in the comments. I'd love to hear about them. But what I find is many nonprofits are ran by volunteers who are not necessarily good at administrative responsibility. So there's constant ball dropping, inefficient use of resources. And at 56 years old, I've gotten to a place where I just can't tolerate my time being wasted. And when I'm not doing well, I'm not being able to do my job. And I'm not being able to I'll talk to some of these nonprofits. I'll talk to some of the leadership. I'll talk to people in the organization. And I can just feel the inefficiency. And I think to myself, I just can't. I just can't be part of this. And I don't know what the answer is. Maybe I need to run a nonprofit. But I don't know if I'd do any better, to be honest. I just know that one of the biggest frustrations I have with finding purpose is I'll see a nonprofit that's doing something. And I'll say, I'm just going to throw in with them. No sense in going off and starting this myself. And I'll take one look at their organization and be absolutely dismayed by how poorly ran it is. But tell me your experience. Have you gotten involved with an organization? A nonprofit? And found them to be really well run and making good use of the resources they have available? If so, put them in the comments. I would love to hear about them.
