Memphis Daily News - Corporate Scandals Create Focus on Nonprofit Accountability - 3/9/2006: "Corporate Scandals Create Focus on Nonprofit Accountability
As local funding competition increases, agencies must prove worthiness
School children are given free fingerprinting kits and taught about safety.
Families who live in poverty are able to say goodbye to substandard housing.
Downtown Memphis parks, streets and medians are kept well-manicured, and visitors get to gaze at exhibits in the renovated Fire Engine House No. 1 at 118 Adams St.
That may sound like a lot, but it's all in a day's work for countless nonprofit agencies in Memphis.
By one estimate, the U.S. nonprofit sector is the sixth largest economic market in the world. But pressure is building to make nonprofit agencies more influential, accountable and attractive to donors, and the same goes for the mix of agencies operating in Memphis."
