Volunteering: Treat your charitable giving like an investment - Bakersfield.com

Volunteering: Treat your charitable giving like an investment - Bakersfield.com: A nonprofit organization ought to be run like a business."

I hear this comment often in my role as President and CEO of Kern Community Foundation. However, I do not necessarily agree with it. Instead, I believe that a nonprofit organization ought to be run like a good business, especially if I am going to make a personal donation to support its mission. Like many people, I have limited personal financial resources and want to see results from the charitable investments I make.
