Want to Hear a Radical Nonprofit Strategy? After Laying Off Its Full-Time Staff, A Blade of Grass Will Now Pay Its Board Members

The board, once made up of 11 members, will comprise just six, all of them artists and arts workers. Each will receive a yearly honorarium for their work. With the transition also comes the departure of philanthropist Shelley Rubin, who founded A Blade of Grass in 2011 and has served on the board since.
