It is clear that, even under ideal circumstances, Non- Profit Organizations cannot keep up with making the world a Good Place by themselves. All is not lost, though! There is another path forward. We can focus on what we do at work in For- Profit businesses. For-Profit businesses could take as a primary aim to make the places where they work Good Places by the same labor that generates their profits. People who want to make the world a better place don’t have to just sit around saying, “I wish more people would give me more money so I can go out in the world and do more good.” We can look for economically sustaining work that both pays our bills by the profit it generates and makes the world a better place. We all need to resist the artificial distinction suggested by the tax system. Don’t allow the tax structure to bifurcate our lives into: For-Profit businesses pay taxes, and make tax-deductible donations to Non- Profit organizations. Non-Profit organizations receive donations, write receipts to donors so they can write off their donations from their taxes, and make the world a better place.
