Adams, Jr., President and CEO of \u003Ca href=\"https://www.questcdc.org/\" title=\"Quest Community Development Corporation\" rel=\"external\">Quest Community Development Corporation\u003C/a>, is acutely aware of the extra barriers he and other Black leaders face. \u003C/p>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>According to Adams, these are the same ones that \"have haunted Black Developers for decades\". Adams highlights \"the continuous proving of oneself, ability, intellectual and business acumen\" as a particularly frustrating barrier. Adams' education and experience are often discounted, as is Quest's track record. Since 2001, Quest has helped over 16,000 families as one of the few housing developers in Georgia focused exclusively on housing residents at the lowest income levels. And yet, Adams shares that, \"Each deal I find myself starting at square one as if I'm the new kid on the block with a new idea\". \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>How does Quest deal with donors who must be convinced? \"Quest has worked to overcome funders' skepticism by going the extra mile, jumping through additional hoops, performing, and taking on community ills other groups won't address.\" This continuous effort to prove himself, and his organization, worthy of support wastes precious time and resources. While Adams and Quest persist in spite of these barriers, a testament to their strength and resilience, they could accomplish much more if donors stepped up to support them. Adams' experience has made him an expert in what a good donor looks like.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cdiv class=\"bg-pink p-8\">\r\n\u003Cp id=\"good-donor\">\u003Cstrong>As Adams puts it, a good donor is:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n\t\u003Cli>A donor that \u003Cstrong>gives at scale\u003C/strong> — at scale meaning a sizable gift that could include multiple years — in their areas of interest.\u003C/li>\r\n\t\u003Cli>A donor that is \u003Cstrong>open to new or expanded old ideas\u003C/strong> while providing the capital needed to get the desired outcomes.\u003C/li>\r\n\t\u003Cli>A donor that understands \u003Cstrong>most community issues are not fixed overnight\u003C/strong> and that nonprofits need support over a period of time to revitalize, drive change, and transform their particular areas of impact.

As Adams shared, recurring donations are one of the best ways to support organizations, particularly Black-founded nonprofits.
