The Non-Profit Dilemma

5

It’s worse than that, though. Actual corporate and individual giving to Non-Profits is not 10%. Both are 2-3%. Average individual giving is 2-3% of our income. Businesses, likewise, on average donate 2-3% of their profits. So for businesses, 2-3% corporate giving of 10% profits (which we already said are overstated for ease of math) results in 0.2-0.3% of business activity, as monetized, applied directly to making the world a better place, while 99.7-99.8% of business activity is directed at making money. The efforts directed at making money may help make the world a better place, be neutral, or actually damage the world. If their impact is totally neutral, then our pace of world improvement proceeds at a rate of 0.2-0.3% per year. Therefore, while this system guarantees job security for Non-Profit Organization workers, the hurrier they go the behinder they get. Ask any Non-Profit worker if they feel this way. They all do. And for good reason.
