Our philosophy is that nonprofits should operate more like
profit businesses and less like families. Sure, we understand that nonprofits
provide community service and a full menu of family focused supportive
services. However, to continue to provide those much needed services, a
nonprofit must be fiscally sound and operate in a manner consistent with
normal business and best practices. It must employ the brightest and the best.
It must utilize the latest technology. It must make teamwork a high priority.
It must operate based on a bona-fide organizational chart and adhere to the
"chain of command". It must place a high priority on staff
development. It must properly document its program services and have a solid
and reliable system in place to report outcomes. It must have a fully
functional business development department that operates based on an actual
written "development plan". It must have a balanced portfolio of
revenue streams including government contracts, foundations, corporations,
individuals, fee-for-service and fundraising/special events. It must have a
full "online media program" including social media and online
fundraising.
