Best business practices for non-profits and socially responsible firms.
No doubt you are fighting the good fight, doing your best with the resources you have to make a difference. But to succeed, to truly make a difference, organizations must utilize proven business principles, be equipped with leadership skills, and take advantage of state-of-the-art marketing tools to ensure a results-oriented approach and solid return-on-investment.

Typically, the volunteers and employees directing non-profit organizations and socially responsible firms (for convenience we call them SROs) are highly committed to the cause, but are not necessarily trained or skilled in sound principles of business and management. They quite admirably run on energy and enthusiasm but face realities that keep their organization from reaching its full potential. These realities include:
  • lack of fundamental business leadership skills and strategy
  • overworked and underpaid staff
  • in need of more resources
  • burnout and frequent turnover of employees and volunteers
  • competition with other non-profits for a shrinking donor base
  • ineffective solicitation campaigns without a plan or measurement tools
  • high administration fees as a percentage of donations
  • a continual hand-to-mouth existence
