The dilemma is this: Non-Profit Organizations, whose work helps make the world a better place, all have to share pieces of that 1%. The only way for Non-Profit Organizations to increase the amount of good that they do in the world is if For- Profit Corporations somehow give themmore money (through either higher donations or greater taxation). The only way that For-Profit Corporations can give Non-Profit Organizations more money is for them to increase the scope of their operations in order to generate more profit. But, by increasing the scope of the 99% of their operation that generates the 1% that they donate, if their corporation degrades the world by 1% or more, we aren’t getting ahead.. Every increase in the 1% of giving potentially increases the problem 99 times more. Even if a business’s operations are completely neutral,causing no harm to the environment, communities, or individuals, then the improvement of our world progresses at the pace of 1% of all our activities (as monitized) per year.
