Charities solving their own problems
Should charities should tackle wider social issues along with their stated mission? The argument for charities working in ways that reduce climate change, increase social mobility, improve equality, etc., is that doing so makes the world a better place. The argument against is that it reduces the energy and resources the charity has to focus on achieving the mission it set out to.
However, there is a different perspective. Charities can choose to work in ways that solve their own problems, improve things for themselves, knowing that the likely consequence is also making the world a better place. From this point-of-view, a charity doesn’t view improving the diversity of its workforce (for example) as a cost to the charity where society gets the benefits, but instead as a benefit to the charity where society also gets the benefits.
This shift in perspective, from thinking of social issues as external to the charity to realising that they represent a macro view of the same issues within the charity, allows the charity to solve their own problems for their own benefit.
