We are smack dab in the middle of National Small Business Week, and I am struck by how similar the for-profit and nonprofit sectors are in this regard. Just as the nonprofit world sees the heavy hitters — Ivy League universities, global charities, national trade associations — get all the attention, on Wall Street it’s […]
The headline says that a bankruptcy trustee of Saint Vincent’s Catholic Medical Centers of New York is suing the law firm that handled the nonprofit’s Chapter 11 matters for legal malpractice. The story behind the headline is that, yet again, another nonprofit board may have been asleep at the switch.

Sure, the pay is a bit lower than in the for-profit sector, and the hours can be long. But working for nonprofits can be tremendously energizing — where else can you get paid to contribute to something that you believe in? But how to get that foot in the door? How to take advantage once […]

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and if I loathed all who commit that horrid crime before parenthood, it absolutely incenses me know that I have two daughters of my own. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center was created by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape just eight years ago, but thanks to funding from the […]
They’re square pegs that don’t quite fit into round holes, those technology companies profiled by the New York Times last weekend: firms that make money, just not as much as investors would like, and that have social missions at their core. As the article noted, nonprofits with nice revenue streams are hardly new, but what […]
"Trickle-down economics" was initially coined to describe how tax benefits and other initiatives at the corporate level would eventually work their way down to the middle and lower classes, but the current economic climate seems to be shunting troubles, not advantages, down the drainpipe.

Barack Obama’s comments about the supposed bitterness of small-town, impoverished Americans who he said cling to religion and firearms because they have nothing else left is by far his worst misstep during the presidential campaign. That speech has been dissected in countless ways, almost always with an eye toward its effect among voters. Given less […]
Well-heeled colleges and universities are being scrutinized for their impressive endowments and facing questions about why those funds aren’t used to lower tuition or in the service of underresourced groups.
