Aligning to Improve the Nonprofit Capital Market Preview published in 2006; series to be published during 2007 and 2008 The types of funding available to nonprofit organizations and the processes for accessing funding are limited, restrictive, and confusing. The nonprofit capital market requires that nonprofit grant seekers undertake more idiosyncratic, circuitous, and expensive fundraising activity — with more uncertain and impermanent results — than for-profit firms must undertake. All of us who are concerned with the social causes our community nonprofits take on need to be concerned about the funding environment in which they must operate. This article is a preview of REDF’s upcoming “Stepping Out of the Maze” series, in which we will explore the ways private sector financing practices can be adapted to improve the nonprofit capital market. In the coming months, check back here for the series. If the Shoe Fits: Nonprofit or For-Profit? The Choice Matters.

REDF’s newest publication addresses this question by drawing upon examples from the field as well as REDF’s own experiences. It also includes the “If the Shoe Fits Handy Guide,” a tool to help organizations determine their best fit. |
