Seacoastonline.com: Nonprofits must band together, too

Seacoastonline.com: Nonprofits must band together, too: "These are tough times, and they are particularly tough for nonprofits.

Complicating the matter is the fact that many nonprofits, created initially to serve particular segments of our society, turn into bureaucracies. As with almost all bureaucracies, the primary goal then becomes to keep themselves in business.

When grant money and donations get tight, nonprofits involved in serving the same populations often spend entirely too much time and energy trying to prove they are the best at what they do in an effort to secure whatever funding is available."
