A Too-Sad Truth about the Nonprofit Sector - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active and engaged democracy.
“Is there something in society’s subconscious that expects nonprofits to
operate in ‘poverty-like ways’?” That question was a showstopper in the
Cohort 20 classroom of the summer 2010 master’s program in philanthropy
and development at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. We were
talking about the starvation mentality in so many nonprofits—you know,
things like really old, rather dysfunctional computers and such poor
wages that employees cannot afford a reasonable mortgage and may have to
visit the soup kitchen for a meal.
