Non-profit and philanthropic organizations are as complex as any commercial enterprise. To successfully achieve their mission, they must have a solid vision, a sound corporate culture, clear operating procedures and effective tactics. In addition, today's donors are savvy and well-informed. They expect more from the organizations they support, and demand solid results from their investment.

If any of these factors are lacking or underperforming, the organization will not reach its full potential, and the mission suffers. Blunder in one operational arena and the ripple effects are felt everywhere. To navigate this new environment, philanthropic organizations must understand — as never before — that they are a business, and must be savvier, strategic, sustainable and ethical.
