To Be Like a Business, or Not to Be?
Tuesday March 11, 2008
Whether nonprofits should be more business-like is something of a hot topic these days.
Some think that doing so will dilute the mission of a nonprofit; while others believe that foundations and donors will be drawn to a business-like organization.
Our guest author, Larry Checco, is in the latter camp and makes his case in his article, Is Your Nonprofit Business-Like?.
Let us know your thoughts about being business-like in the comments below.
