When Nonprofits Invest In The Stock Market - Forbes.com

When Nonprofits Invest In The Stock Market - Forbes.com: "Recognizing that nonprofits are perpetually struggling just to stay afloat, some of the donors I've worked with over the years have found that by supporting nonprofits' growth and development, rather than targeting funds for specific programs, they can invest not only in an organization's current work, but also in its ability to adapt and sustain itself into the future. Indeed, these 'capacity building' grants are often the only funds an organization receives that it can access specifically for planning and infrastructure-building purposes. Without these funds, organizations either forsake these critical activities altogether or use precious general operating funds, thus depleting funds needed for crucial programming."
