I'...Dave, you raise some great questions here. I'm all for collaboration and creative ways for various sectors to work together (that's ultimately the only way to tackle the big problems), but as nonprofit funding shifts toward more toward corporations and less from foundations, we will/do need more precedent and guidance about what can demanded of the nonprofit sector.<br /><br />Better World Books has an interesting model that they developed to protect their 5 nonprofit partners in the event that the company is sold. The nonprofit partners are allocated equity shares but they must reach certain performance indicators decided on by the company each year to receive them. It's supportive rather than exploitative, but still the 'company' has a strong influence on nonprofit funding. <br /><br />-Olivia Khalili<br />CauseCapitalism.comOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707381833152601256noreply@blogger.com
