Non-Profits Have Much in Common
with For-Profit Enterprises
A nonprofit organization can have clients, can offer products and services, will need revenue, should market itself, and must be concerned about customer satisfaction — whether in those assisted or those who contribute donations in support of operations, programs or services. It is a business that must serve the public interest and it will succeed or fail as any business will, depending on how well it is operated. Just because a nonprofit organization does not declare a profit and instead utilizes all revenue available after normal operating expenses in service to the public interest, it doesn't magically become something less than a "real" business.
At Catalyst, our consulting associates (especially co-founder Cynthia Waisner) have a wealth of experience helping the leaders of non-profit organizations address their unique challenges — by applying best practices from the fields of management science, organization development (OD), behavioral science and leadership development.
