Aspen Times News for Aspen Colorado - Columnists: "Making a profit not the answer for nonprofits
Guest Opinion

July 16, 2005
(Editor's note: The following column is in response to the story 'Local philanthropist wants to help nonprofits change their financial ways,' published in the Wednesday, July 13 issue of The Aspen Times.)
I was dismayed to read in The Aspen Times July 13 issue that the old disparaging rhetoric about not-for-profits has reared its ugly head again. The idea that organizations committed to working toward the common good and tackling the most pressing social problems and issues are somehow operating in an un-businesslike manner and thus are fatally flawed will not fly. This attitude is pejorative and unfair.
