Where's the Money? Money for working with Non-Profits |
 |
|
Walk into a networking meeting for young professionals in a service-oriented profession and you are bound the hear a common complaint: the returned Peace Corps volunteer, the Ivy League grad, the former Fulbright fellow all want to work to make a difference, yet for all their skills and brains and fancy credentials, they cannot find jobs in the field. Why not? There aren't many jobs.
There are plenty of individuals willing to devote their lives to making the world a better place. The problem is that in order to have lives, they need to make a living. How can we get more money into the nonprofit sector so that men and women eager to do good actually have the resources to do it?
