QUICK TAKE
Bob Mabbitt's dream scenario for his new nonprofit agency looks something like this: a building well-equipped with computers, video and other technology for public media classes, a paid staff and lots of partnerships with other local groups and agencies.
That's the vision. Getting there is the tough part, as Mabbitt and just about every other would-be do-gooder find when they start working for a cause outside the 9-to-5 world.
Since their operations normally don't generate money on their own, groups have to compete for grants and donations, which are hard for a start-up to find."
