A solution that (brilliantly, I feel!) addresses this dilemma: blur (and even erase!) the line between For-Profit and Non-Profit. For-Profit organizations can include in their values and on their task lists work that makes the world a better place. Non-Profit organizations can include activities that both accomplish their missions and generate revenue. Indeed, all organizations – whether For-Profit or Non- Profit - can seek a balance of effort in these three areas: 1. Economic Activities –work that builds up Good Places and returns a profit, that generates resources to support the members’ living expenses and pays for the organization’s other activities, 2. Development – encouraging and supporting the members in continual growth, 3. Service – work that builds up Good Places but that doesn’t return a profit. We can call these Good Place Organizations. We can propose this as a solution to the Non-Profit Dilemma.
